+
+ tests: fix spurious failure in 'primary-prefix-valid-couples.test'
+ * tests/primary-prefix-valid-couples.test: After commit
+ v1.11-464-gc9dfc36, `java_JAVA' is not a valid prefix/primary
+ combination by default anymore: one has to explicitly define
+ $(javadir) to make it so. So just drop `java_JAVA' from our
+ Makefile.am Also, since we are at it, ...
+ (configure.in): ... remove AM_PROG_GCJ from here, as it's not
+ really required.

+
+ docs: deprecate JAVA primary
+ * doc/automake.texi (Java): Deprecate the JAVA primary, stating
+ that it will become obsolete in automake 1.12 and probably removed
+ altogether in automake 1.13. Reflect this in the section title,
+ by appending the string "(deprecated feature)".
+ (@menu, @detailmenu): Update.
+ (Java Support with gcj): The cross-referenced support for bytecode
+ compilation with the JAVA primary is rudimentary and deprecated.
+ State that explicitly.
+
+ 2011-09-19 Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
+
+ docs: clearer distinction between `.java' with javac and with gcj
+ * doc/automake.texi (Java support): Rename this node ...
+ (Java support with gcj): ... to this, and change its title from
+ "Compiling Java sources" to "Compiling Java sources using gcj".
+ (@detailmenu, @menu, @cindex): Update and make more precise.
+ (Java): Change the title of this node from simply "Java" to
+ "Java bytecode compilation".
+ (@detailmenu, @menu, @cindex): Update and make more precise.
