Vim may not DISPLAY quickfix entries on multiple lines, but Vim CAN parse multi-line compiler output. Vim then translates these multi-line outputs into a single-line entry. See :help errorformat-multi-line

For this you need the %p item in :help errorformat

I'd also expect that something as common as javac would already have a compiler plugin. Have you tried setting the compiler to javac (with :compiler javac)? See :help :compiler. The default Vim distribution seems to include a javac plugin but I don't know anything about it beyond what's in the help. The help seems to indicate that the ------^ lines are parsed.
