1. When building C programs one calls the compiler for each source

Typically javac is called once with many source files at a time - but
not the ones that are not out of date.
This is easy to overcome with a proper rule.
I've used make a lot in the past for some Java project which didn't
involve complex layouts.
3. Java build tools have the ability to download and cache files from
remote repositories over the net.
This is something that make does not do (and does not try to do).
Period.
If you are doing a complex project which involves a lot of dependencies
and you want them to be fetched and delivered, I guess make is not an
option.
Just my 2c.
