So... I fixed this locally by hacking on UseJava.cmake. Basically, I did 
three things:

- Also set CMAKE_JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH_FINAL when a jar is seen in add_jar 
arguments.
- Accept targets as a means of specifying jar files.
- Add jars as dependencies of the javac step.

...and I also moved some path logic to after the extension check, as it 
is only used for .java files.

Is there any chance of getting this accepted for 2.8.11?
