There should be a workaround for that as well.  I plan to use
AX_JNI_INCLUDE_DIR which is an Autoconf extension macro that supposedly
will locate jni.h given only a valid javac compiler.

In practical terms, it may be because you only have the JRE (Java Runtime
Environment) packages for your distribution installed.  You also need the
JDK (Java Development Kit) installed.  On my old Ubuntu 10.04 system I have
the following

dpkg -S /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/include/jni.h
openjdk-6-jdk: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/include/jni.h
