The preferred way, if you repository is up to date enough, is to add 
--enable-sjavac to configure (requires a clean build if you haven't used 
the feature before). The workaround solution in the meantime is to set 
JDK_FILTER="package/to/include,other/package/to/include". Note that the 
latter method puts the responsibility on the user to make sure the build 
result is valid since a complete dependency evaluation is not performed. 
You can also call the target "jdk-only" to skip searching the other repos.
