The "bit-ness" of Octave and the JRE must match. So since you installed the 
64bit version of Octave, you would need to have a 64bit version of the JRE.
By default java.com offers the 32bit version. The download link for the 64bit 
version is a bit tricky to find:
https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

You only need a valid JRE if you want to interface to Java directly or plan on 
using functions that need the Java interface (e.g. some functions from the io 
package).
Otherwise, you should be fine.
