I updated the filelist recently, so they build for me.  The testsuite (run
with "cd java-swig" and "make check") fails to compile the tests of subclassing
of MatchDecider and ExpandDecider for me.

I don't use them myself, so I don't know how well they currently work.
Patches to improve them are certainly welcome.  It would be nice to be able
to retire the old hand-coded JNI bindings.
