Lionel-
Make is a fairly generic build tool that simply allows you to group a number
of execution targets together. Each execution target can have dependancies
that make will manage for you, and each execution target can have a number
of commands (usually shell commands). One of those commands, for example,
might be "javac *.java". So yes, it is possible to use make to build a java
application.
There are several alternatives to make that are designed to be more
java-centric, and "Ant" from the jakarta-apache project
(http://jakarta.apache.org/ant), is my personal favorite.
