cleanup Java macros (remove binary blobs)

This patch removes opaque binary usage within the java macros. It is very
disturbing that binary data was included in these macros. I confirmed that the
binary data matched the comments, however, future changes could easily make
them deviate, making it very easy to insert arbitrary source code into any
project.

I also removed usage of the -r flag from rm usage which didn't make sense.
