./configure --with-java=/usr/local/jdk 

fails with 

checking for Java support... yes
checking Java Jar location... /usr/local/jdk/bin/jar cf
checking Java C location... /usr/local/jdk/bin/javac
checking Checking for libjava... 
configure: error: unable to find Java VM libraries in /usr/local/jdk

Same result for /usr/local/jdk equal to:

IBMJava2-131 (IBM's Java2 JDK)
j2sdk1.3.1 (Blackdown 1.3.1 JDK)
j2sdk1.4.1 (Blackdown 1.4.1 JDK)
jdk1.2.2 (Blackdown 1.2.2 JDK)
kaffe_1.0.7 (Kaffe 1.0.7)

It seems I was a bit hasty in my testing.  I forgot to rm config.cache
for each of the runs.

The only JDK's that fail are IBMJava2-131 and Kaffe 1.0.7.  All of the Blackdown JDK's work fine (with configure that is).

IBM's JDK puts libjava.so inside of jre/bin as opposed to jre/lib/i386
as Blackdown does.  There should be a test for this in configure, but 
I'm not sure of the best spot.  I was able to build 4.3.0RC1 sucessfully 
by manually adjusting JAVA_LIBPATH.

Kaffe seems to have changed into an entirely different beast in 1.0.6
and 1.0.7.  It looks like several things configure looks for are no 
longer in the same place as they were in older versions of Kaffe as
they are now in .jar files.  I'm unable to test out the older versions 
of Kaffe because I can't get them to build on my system.  I'm also 
not experienced enough in Kaffe to try to tweak PHP to build with it.

the configure of ext/java is quite old and was only tested for suns jdk stuff recently (well, they didn't change their paths )

I would recommend using the sun jdk. Or someone fixes the configure line ...
