# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_PROG_JAVAC
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   AX_PROG_JAVAC tests an existing Java compiler. It uses the environment
#   variable JAVAC then tests in sequence various common Java compilers. For
#   political reasons, it starts with the free ones.
#
#   If you want to force a specific compiler:
#
#   - at the configure.in level, set JAVAC=yourcompiler before calling
#   AX_PROG_JAVAC
#
#   - at the configure level, setenv JAVAC
#
#   You can use the JAVAC variable in your Makefile.in, with @JAVAC@.
#
#   *Warning*: its success or failure can depend on a proper setting of the
#   CLASSPATH env. variable.
#
#   TODO: allow to exclude compilers (rationale: most Java programs cannot
#   compile with some compilers like guavac).
#
#   Note: This is part of the set of autoconf M4 macros for Java programs.
#   It is VERY IMPORTANT that you download the whole set, some macros depend
#   on other. Unfortunately, the autoconf archive does not support the
#   concept of set of macros, so I had to break it for submission. The
#   general documentation, as well as the sample configure.in, is included
#   in the AX_PROG_JAVA macro.
