You _can_ subscribe to help-make and/or bug-make, but you don't _need_

Yes.

Not exactly.
You have to use a "fake" target. Combine rule 2 and rule 3 into one
rule (make sure javaClasses is not .PHONY, of course, if it was
previously!):
#RULE 2
javaClasses : $(SRC_JAVA)
$(JAVA_C_TOOL) $(JAVA_C_OPTS) -d $(DEST_PATH) $?
@touch $@
