[Kedzierski, Artur CIV NSWC Corona, PA13]

Andreas,

Do you mind sharing a CMakeLists.txt for one of your Java projects? 
Thank You.

I've looked at using CMake to build some Java files (in an otherwise
C++/C project) some time ago and the result was that Java-support simply
does not fit with CMake's language and functions - at least not in the
way include_directories() and co are currently implemented for Java. So
I've simply opted for custom-command's and targets to compile Java.
