OK, sorry for my confusion.

But why would you try to invoke questdlg from the Java world, rather than
directly in Octave? 

Skipping that answer, maybe this trick that I often use could help you find
out how to call JDialogBox methods (tried in Octave-3.7.7+ but it should
work similarly in Octave-3.6.4 w java-1.2.9 package):

>> jq = javaObject ('org.octave.JDialogBox')
jq =

<Java object: org.octave.JDialogBox>

>> javamethods (jq)
warning: javamethods is obsolete and will be removed from a future version
of Octave, please use methods instead

{
  [1,1] = int[] listdlg(java.lang.String[], java.lang.String,
java.lang.Object[], java.lang.Object[], java.lang.String,
java.lang.String[], java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,2] = java.lang.String[] inputdlg(java.lang.String[], java.lang.String,
java.lang.Object[], java.lang.Object[])
  [1,3] = void SelectAll()
  [1,4] = int helpdlg(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,5] = int emptydlg(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,6] = java.lang.String questdlg(java.lang.String, java.lang.String,
java.lang.String[])
  [1,7] = int errordlg(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,8] = int warndlg(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,9] = int genericdlg(java.lang.String[], java.lang.String[],
java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int,java.lang.Object[],
java.lang.Object[], java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)
  [1,10] = void closeDialog(int)
  [1,11] = void setFocus()
  [1,12] = void main(java.lang.String[])
  [1,13] = void wait(long) throws java.lang.InterruptedException
  [1,14] = void wait() throws java.lang.InterruptedException
  [1,15] = void wait(long, int) throws java.lang.InterruptedException
  [1,16] = boolean equals(java.lang.Object)
  [1,17] = java.lang.String toString()
  [1,18] = int hashCode()
  [1,19] = java.lang.Class getClass()
  [1,20] = void notify()
  [1,21] = void notifyAll()
}

...from which I tentatively conclude that you might be supplying not enough
parameters, of the proper class, to the questdlg call (through java_invoke).

Note that java_invoke is deprecated now, better use javaMethod()

FYI, the Java package author once informed me that error messages like 
"error: [java] java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: questdlg" 
are indeed appropriate because Java is a (very-) strictly-typed language and
(in this case) indeed has no methods for the actual set of parameters
(number, class) you supplied here.
