How to install Java debugger for Emacs on MAC?

UC berkeley offers a free java debugger called gjdb which is a modified version of gdb. but I have trouble about how to install it. Specifically, in the README file it says:

INSTALLATION

To configure, use

DIR/configure OPTIONS

in the directory in which you want to build, where DIR designates the directory in which you have unpacked the source (can be .). Use

DIR/configure --help

to see the options.

Next, you can simply type

make

to build,

make install

to install, and 

make install-doc

to compile and install the documentation file gjdb.pdf.

To use gjdb from Emacs, arrange to load it in your initialization (.emacs) file with the command

(load "DIR/gjdb")

where DIR is the directory in which 'make install' put gjdb.el (see the output of configure --help), or just

(load "gjdb")

if you have put DIR on Emacs's load path.

I just have no Idea about the installation process. If any of you have a better choice for a JAVA debugger in Emacs, please let me know!
