Setting JAVA_HOME is the preferred way instead of using complete path for javac. default-jdk-builddep is to be used only when you are also creating a -gcj binary package. By the way, I am not sure how well javahelper and cdbs go. But if you write a small ant build script (if you are familiar with ant) then the ant/cdbs combo will make life easier.
