Need help with Octave/Java

[Walter Grossman]

Though "Constants" is an interface and can't be instantiated, the commands below work in Matlab.  I understand that Octave doesn't have an import command as Matlab does so how do I mimic this behavior?  Do I need to create a java object in java that implements the interface?  It would be better if I could do something in octave.

Thanks.

Matlab code:
clear all
>> import org.orekit.utils.*
>> c=Constants.SPEED_OF_LIGHT

c =
