My recommendation is save the output of 'sudo make install &>
/tmp/output-make-install-otopi' and
debug it, start checking if the path of destination files are correct.

Not sure if this your case, but, I have noticed some similar errors
when --prefix is not set.

"""
>From configure --help:

By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc.  You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
"""

For this case, I would suggest try:
 ./configure --enable-java-sdk --with-maven --prefix=/usr/

Fell free to share with us the output of make install.

Thanks
