Summary:                    request feature for more flexible jar output
location and better support of cmake global variables in UseJava.cmake
Description: 
I was unable to move the created jar to some global location where I gather all
the libraries in my project.
After examination by David Cole and Ben Boeckel I was told to send a feature
request so here it is.

Steps to Reproduce: 
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
set(CMAKE_ARCHIVE_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY /path/to/outputs)
add_jar(some_jar ${some_jar_sources})
some_jar.jar will be in ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} while it should be in
/path/to/outputs
