 I tried sudo port install octave-java on my OS X 10.7 Lion machine. It
 built OK, but the java functions do not appear to be working. For example:

 octave:1> pkg list
 Package Name  | Version | Installation directory
 --------------+---------+-----------------------
         java *|   1.2.6 | /opt/local/share/octave/packages/java-1.2.6
 octave:2> help java_new
 error: help: `java_new' not found
 octave:2> java_invoke("java.lang.System","currentTimeMillis")
 error: `java_invoke' undefined near line 2 column 1
 octave:2> exit

 I have also tried building java-1.2.8 but get the same problem. I have
 sought help on the octave board, and their best guess is that it involves
 a problem with the Java directory structure on Lion.  Flags such as
 JAVA_HOME, JAVA_LIBS, JAVA_INC, etc. might be obsolete.  Does anyone have
 any ideas?
