Trying to build gnome2, building dependency accessibility/gnomespeech, with jdk1.4p7 and javavmwrapper-1.5, and the build fails.  If there is no jdk installed, then gnomespeech builds fine.  Other Java applications (apache-ant, netbeans) appear to compile fine.

Note that /usr/local/bin/idlj is soft linked to /usr/local/bin/javavm, as are other java-related programs in /usr/local/bin: java, java_vm, javac, javah, javap, etc.  Linking idlj to /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/idlj and rerunning from scratch gives a different error:

Personally I don't care in the slightest about getting gnomespeech to work as a jar with Java; I just want to be able to compile gnome2 on a system that also has a jdk installed.
