The reason I need help with Makevars is because it needs jni.h from the user's JAVA_HOME/include and jni_md.h from the user's JAVA_HOME/include/OS_TYPE directory.
In addition, it needs libjvm.so from the user's JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ARCH/client directory.
I've looked at the SJava package with the idea of using a similar configure
script, but I was hoping I could just get by with a Makevars file rather
than a configure script.
That is virtually impossible unless you let the user add all paths manually. Each OS, platform, VM vendor and VM version(!) use different paths and you need different include directories and libs. What you end up doing in your Makefile is what the configure script does, so I see no benefit from not using it. AFAIR SJava doesn't detect Apple Java - you may have a look at rJava's configure script which tries to be a bit more general, but your mileage may vary.
