I have walked through and have few comments:

Are autotools mess (aprox 300k of code) really needed for this tiny, pure java, project?
Autotools in this case do this - check java, javac, jar tools. Add default prefix. All this can be in much more well arranged way withou it IMHO.
(for prefix see http://people.freedesktop.org/~dbn/pkg-config-guide.html)

To make file  itself - maybe the number of goals can be doubled stamped build-jtreg for building classes and jtreg.jar for jaring classes each with proepr clean (rm -rf src/classes in jtreg.jar) really stinks;)

Thanx for any ideas upon this and work with ^^ at free will ;)
