[FYI 0/2] {maint} Deprecate JAVA primary in the documentation

[Stefano Lattarini]

We are planning a complete rewrite of the Automake support for
byte-compiled java:

 <http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=9088>

In particular, we plan to finally remove the JAVA primary and substitute
in its place a new JARS primary, that will break backward-compatibility.

So it's better to start deprecating the JAVA primary in the documentation
right now.  Note that these series is a documentation-only changes; any
pre-existing use of the JAVA primary will continue to work unchanged in
automake 1.11.2 (well, with a few bugs fixed in truth).  Later on, in
automake 1.12, any use of the JAVA primary will cause warnings in the
`obsolete' category, and we will finally remove support for that primary
completely in automake 1.13.
