There are 2 things you should take care of:
1) all java binaries should be in your PATH (java, javac, jar...)
2) if JVM is not installed in a directory like:
/usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/$ARCH/client/libjvm.so
then JAVA_HOME should be defined such that JVM is located in
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/$ARCH/client/libjvm.so

If it still does not work, could you report what you get when
the configure script of the java package is executed?
