Apparently, exactly that has been done; Octave-Java-package's idiosyncrasies permitting. That is, Matlab ships with a JRE so that Java is always guaranteed to work with ML. (The ML GUI was (still is?) Java-based so I can understand why TMW needed to do that.) AFAICS Octave is dependent on an independently installed JDK. Moreover, once Octave has been built from source w/o JDK, adding in a JRE or JDK later on and then expecting Java to work automagically from Octave may be a tad optimistic. Of course, for users invoking a binary distribution package this shouldn't be a problem.
