Do you have all these arches to test with?

We don't einfo the antflags like this because there is nothing of
interest to the user. Feel free to use them for debugging but don't
leave them to the final ebuild.

Using parenthesis like this makes a subshell ( see man bash ). dieing
inside a subshell will not quit like you expect it to. Why not just add
javadoc to antflags?

java-pkd_dojar build/*.jar is probably more future proof so when version
bumping new jars are not missed.

Please note that these comments are only based on looking at the code. I
might find more if I ever get to actually testing it.

Thanks for the work so far.
