We'll need to update m4/gnumail_with_activation_jar.m4 to try creating
and compiling a test java program that imports and uses a JAF class.

My m4 is pretty sketchy but you should be able to do something like:

AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_JAVAC])
dnl Test if JAF is present in the classpath
cat << \EOF > jaftest.java
import javax.activation.DataHandler;
public class jaftest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Class t = DataHandler.class;
}
}
EOF
if AC_TRY_COMMAND($JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS jaftest.java) && test -f
jaftest.class; then
	found_activation_jar=true
else
	... check for the jar file
