Hello autoconfers. Currently, limitations in the Automake support for java enforce the restriction that only one `_JAVA' primary can be used in a given Makefile.am. Unfortunately, this (quite acceptable) limitation has the side effect that one cannot have both distributed and not distributed *.java files in a the same Makefile.am: $ cat Makefile.am dist_java_JAVA = a.java nodist_java_JAVA = b.java $ automake -a /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: JAVAC multiply defined in condition TRUE ... Makefile.am:2: while processing `nodist_java_JAVA' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: ... `JAVAC' previously defined here Makefile.am:1: while processing `dist_java_JAVA' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: CLASSPATH_ENV multiply defined in condition TRUE ... Makefile.am:2: while processing `nodist_java_JAVA' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: ... `CLASSPATH_ENV' previously defined here Makefile.am:1: while processing `dist_java_JAVA' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: JAVAROOT multiply defined in condition TRUE ... Makefile.am:2: while processing `nodist_java_JAVA' /usr/share/automake-1.11/am/java.am: ... `JAVAROOT' previously defined here Makefile.am:1: while processing `dist_java_JAVA' Makefile.am:2: multiple _JAVA primaries in use See also the attached testcase (for maint, v1.11-329-gd4df619). This bug is particularly annoying because *.java files listed with the `JAVA' primary are not included by default in the distribution. Ganted, one can always use EXTRA_DIST to work around this issue, but it would be nice if things Just Worked. Regards, Stefano
