That is what we have in our local.conf:

# Stage JAR files not into ARCH related dirs
STAGING_DIR_JAVA = "${STAGING_DIR}/java"
STAGING_DATADIR_JAVA ?= ${STAGING_DIR_JAVA}

Full local.conf can be found here:
http://svn.buglabs.net/svn/!source/11343/bug/trunk/com.buglabs.build.oe/build/conf/local.conf

That is a good question. So far I have mostly avoided the java building and left
the honor to tarrent.

Our build setup is a bit fragile right now as javac segfault sometimes during
building and we don't know why. Another out of memory bug should be fixed by
Henning again.

Right now I would be happy to have a reliable build and then work towards
getting it mor sane and bring it into OE. Thats blocking me a bit here from
further upstream work, but we will get behind it.
