XBMC needs Java on the host in order to build, because it uses a
code-generator which is build in two phases:
In the first phase SWIG is used to parse C++ header files that define the API.
SWIG outputs an XML file that contains a complete description of the structure
of the API.
In the second phase, the XML file is ingested by a Groovy (Java) program that
then creates C++ code that forms the bridge to the scripting language (Python).
The second phase is why we need java on the host.
You can learn more at the XBMC's wiki:

In order to check that, this patch introduce this mechanism in
dependencies.sh
It also defines the variable in Config.in
