Currently to compile Java in CMake the source codes have to be listed explicitly as follows:

set(pki-certsrv_java_SRCS
    com/netscape/certsrv/apps/ICommandQueue.java
    com/netscape/certsrv/apps/CMS.java
    com/netscape/certsrv/apps/ICMSEngine.java
    ...
)

Since there are many files this could be a maintenance issue. Ideally the list should be generated with a CMake function, for example:

file(GLOB_RECURSE pki-certsrv_java_SRCS
    RELATIVE .
    PATTERN *.java
)

There's a note in CMake docs (http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:file) that warns against it:

We do not recommend using GLOB to collect a list of source files from your source tree. If no CMakeLists.txt file changes when a source is added or removed then the generated build system cannot know when to ask CMake to regenerate.

However, this not might not be applicable to Java since javac will handle that automatically.
