On the command-line a space is used to separate 2 arguments. So, when you execute:

set makeprg=javac %

The :set command assigns the value javac to the option 'makeprg', then it tries to enable the option '%', which doesn't exist, hence the error.

If you want the space to be included inside the value of the 'makeprg' option, you need to escape it:

set makeprg=javac\ %
