That looks more like a Java installation error (i.e. in your Linux
installation, nothing to do with Octave).
On my box (Win7 64 bit with Octave-3.7.5 dev version) those commands work
quite OK.

What operating system do you run (I guess some Linux at first sight)? 32 or
64 bit? which Java version do you have? (& 32 or 64 bit?)
>From the Octave prompt, do:

system ("java -version")

and

javamethods ("java.awt.Frame")

and report the output.
