I guess you are to referring to the message that Octave's installer for Windows 
shows during installation. This is not an error but just a mere message.
Do you need to access Java from Octave?  If not, it should be running fine 
without the need to install Java.
If you do need Java, any current version of the JRE should work as long as it 
matches the bit-ness of Octave.  I.e., if you install 64bit Octave, you'd also 
need to install the 64bit JRE.
