sorry, "doesn't work" as in:

Preparing target
out/linux/x86_64/debug/java/examples-java/simpleclient/simpleclient.jar...
jar cfm
out/linux/x86_64/debug/java/examples-java/simpleclient/simpleclient.jar

scons: ***

Error 1


the "function jarSources" is confusing and presumably the problem, it
certainly shouldn't be part of the shell command passed to invoke jar...
