Description

when you run configure with no options you get the following error.

checking for javac... no
configure: error: no acceptable Java compiler found in $PATH

I think this should continue and just not include java in the build.

Perhaps configure should print a summary of components it will build at the end of the script since we have so many. Thoughts?
