No idea, I don't know java.  The only jar I ever built was a
pottery jar, and that was very long ago...

The variable libidn_jar_JAVA lists files that must be compiled
and installed in $(libidn_jardir).  Obviously the rule assumes
that *.java files get compiled as *.class in the current
directory.

Do you mean noinst_libidn_jar_JAVA or noinst_JAVA?  The former
is a mistake, and the latter works for me as I'd expect: the
files listed in $(noinst_JAVA) are compiled but not installed.

No idea why.

 Simon> How can I disable that?

You should use `noinst' as destination directory.
