What does (in the Octave terminal)

system ("java -version")

tell you?

If you get an error, try to open a cmd window (usually in Start Menu |
Accessories) and enter
java  -version
there.

(BTW just to be sure - did you install Octave in a path without spaces? the
installer should check that, but ...)
