I think in the Java support of pki if you call 'make' we always rebuild
the complete java files. The CMake Java support which I pushed upstream
and which will be released with CMake 2.8.6 is much more clever. It only
rebuilds the files which have been changed.

It also provides some nice functions like find_jar() now.
