The Macports version is the official 6.5.2 release, which detects
only Apple's Java.  As of 10.9, Apples's Java no longer ships with
the JNI infrastructure, so you need Oracle's Java ...  At least,
that is what I understand about the status.  The git version is
updated to work with Oracle's Java as configured for the Mac ...

If anyone is aware of a well maintained and working configure
script that finds java, javac, the include directories, the
library directories and linker flags needed to link to anya Java on
any platform, please share it.

The current config is based on such as script that I copied from
somewhere.  Since then various people submitted patches for some
configuration and I made many changes to hack around issues on
various platforms.  It is a nightmare :-(
