FYI, I tried a few hacks to be able to make distcheck without java
installed, and quickly ran out of patience and ended up just git rm -r
java and removing references to it in configure.ac and Makefile.am

I would be in favor of removing Java because we never compile that
stuff in Fedora, that said, removing a full feature sounds like 2.2
version material, not a minor z version bump ...

Simo.
