Why Two versions of FILES_java.gmk ?

The new build system holds a copy of the old to piggy back on while the 
conversion was happening. We are about to push an update to the new 
build system where all these copied files are removed. You do not need 
to update the makefiles-version of the file as it will be removed very soon.

In the new build system, there is no need to list files like this.
