Unfortunatly, the option required to follow symbolic links is not
specified by POSIX and failed on some systems, iIrc some BSDs.

But you don't have to edit the configure script to specify the paths
manually. Try this:

  JAVA_CPPFLAGS="-I/Library/Java/Home/include" \
  JAVA_LDFLAGS="-L/Library/Java/Home/bundle/Libraries -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/Library/Java/Home/bundle/Libraries" \
  JAVAC="/Library/Java/Home/bin/javac" \
  ./configure $MORE_OPTIONS

This way you can manually specify the CPP-, C- and LD-flags used when
compiling the java plugin. It's not nice, but it should work for all
installations of Java.

Can you provide the "config.log" created by the "configure" script? It
should contain *why* the java plugin was disabled.
