This is related to bug #570784 , but is an independent fault. ( Though you have to have worked around that bug to see this one )

Upstream are aware of this bug, and it is the result of rakudo 2015.12 having not been updated for JVM, and this issue is expected to be resolved by the added support planned in the 2016.01 release.

As such, this use-flag should be disabled on this specific version because it cannot be expected to work. (But the USE flag should be re-instated when the next release comes out)

It's not in 2016.01 or 2016.01.1 either, so needs to be masked there too.

2016.01.1 has java useflag removed, older have been purged, so bug can't happen anymore.
