enum.java doesn't exist because it is renamed to mr_enum.java.  This is
because enum is a keyword in recent versions of java and you can't
use a keyword as a class name.  (If the mr_enum.java cannot be found
then it looks like the library Mmakefile needs updating.)

The java runtime is in jave/runtime.  IIRC that java runtime
has been broken for a while now so it probably won't work.
