I'm afraid you'd better wait for a new package version, sorry. Java-1.2.7 is incompatible with octave-3.4.0. The next version (probably 1.2.8) has been much improved anyway (dynamic & static (to some extent) classpath; Matlab compatible function calls; some graphics dialogs; several bug fixes; documentation / manual; code cleanup; adaptation to specific internal octave-3.4.0 calls; etc). I got it installed here on Mandrivalinux 2010.2 w Octave-3.4.0 & Sun Java, AFAICS it runs OK there; but it needs more testing on Linux/OpenJDK and Windows/Sun Java. In the latter it still fails to install. May I ask what you want to do with it? Because, if you need it for the io pkg, you'd better wait for a new version of that as well (I'll have to comb through the spreadsheet scripts for a last time and clean up some functions that are now in core octave, hopefully this or next week). If you are willing to help test a new java pkg version (for Linux only at the moment) I can send you the package as I have it running, but you'll have to promise to give feedback whether it works OK and duly report all problems you'll encounter :-) Just let me know.
