You shouldn't be using makefiles at all, so you won't be using  
Makefile.am; that file is currently part of a legacy build system  
only used by people on the Safari team.

You should be invoking the "build-webkit" script, which calls  
"xcodebuild" for you with the proper options.

Others are building successfully without having to do this. I'm not  
sure why you ran into this problem; clearly something to do with the  
Java installation, but not obvious to me what's wrong.
