RULES_JAVA was written before the more modern Java build tools such as
Maven came along, and our understanding of how Java code is supposed to
be structured may have been mistaken. Janet Anderson who maintains the
build system has been looking into your question and will reply
privately with a suggestion related to using a fully-qualified package
name, but I think Lewis' suggestion that you use another build tool
makes the most sense at this point.

We had already removed RULES_JAVA from the 3.15 version of Base and we
don't know of any of the EPICS Java projects that are using it, so I
think it's safe to say that RULES_JAVA is deprecated and not worth using
any more.
