+@subsubsection install_java Build the Java bindings
+
+Once you have the [full JDK](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) installed
+(on Debian/Ubuntu, grab the package ```default-jdk``` for that), things should be as simple as:
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+cmake -Denable_java=ON .
+make
+~~~~
+
+After the compilation, the file ```simgrid.jar``` is produced in the
+root directory. If you only want to build the jarfile and its
+dependencies, type ```make simgrid-java_jar```. It will save you the
+time of building every C examples and other things that you don't need
+for Java.
+
+** **Error: jni could not be found**. Sometimes, the build system fails
+to find the JNI headers. In this case, you need to first locate them as follows:
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+$ locate jni.h
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/include/jni.h
+/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/include/jni.h
+~~~~
+
+Then, set the JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable to the right
+path, and relaunch cmake. If you have several version of jni installed
+(as above), use the right one (check the java version you use with
+```javac -version```).
+
+~~~~{.sh}
+export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/include/
+cmake -Denable_java=ON .
+make
+~~~~
+
+Note that the filename ```jni.h``` was removed from the path.

@subsubsection install_src_32bits 32 bits Builds on Multi-arch Linux
On a multiarch x86_64 Linux, it should be possible to compile a 32 bit
