make jdk-only JDK_FILTER=java/net

will just re-compile classes in java/net/**. Like incremental builds in 
the old build, you are on wing and a prayer when you do this but it 
useful to avoid re-compiling thousands of classes.

The "real" solution is sjavac, which does work, I'm just not sure when 
it will enabled by default.
