@Skyehawk, does your image include the java artifacts for OpenCV?

No, it is very barebones. However the build files for OpenCV have not been purged so it can be rebuilt and reinstalled. But if you are going to go through all that trouble you may as well work from scratch...

Sorry I couldn't be more help,

No problem, and thanks. I have a build almost complete...and once I'm sure it's working properly I'll image it too--for the Java addicts among us.

FYI, I was finally able to get OpenCV fully built with Java 8 bindings and installed on a Pi 3 running Jessie.

I'll try to find a way to share an image (my card is 32GB, so a full image would be prohibitive) but in the meantime, here are the "Installing OpenCV 3.1.0 on Raspberry Pi Debian Jessy with Java Library" instructions I followed from Robin Henniges.

I also compared notes along the way with Adrian Rosebrock's excellent "Raspberry Pi 3 + Raspbian Jessie + OpenCV 3" instructions.

Following the two together should allow you to build an OpenCV build with Java and Python bindings, but my image will only have Java.

Full credit and thanks to both bloggers for their work and diligent documentation!
