All,

I just pushed another significant change to the Java detection in
configure.ac (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/fafd51a1b0f0).
Hopefully this will now work on more Linux platforms and will proceed
through java and libjvm detection on Mac platforms. The search for "jni.h"
on Macs may still need work.

Because this hits the build environment, rather than just source code, you
may need to run 'bootstrap' to re-generate configure.

Nice work Rik.   On MacOS 10.7.5 configure ends with ...

Java home:                   /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home
Java JVM path:               /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Libraries
Java CPPFLAGS:               -I/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/include -I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Headers -I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Headers
Java libraries:              -framework JavaVM

Build Java interface:               true

I don't know if it is a problem or not, but the three directories below do not exist for me (parent directories are there)

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/include
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/include
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Headers

The last include path contains jni.h

$ ls -1 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Headers
AWTCocoaComponent.h
JDWP.h
JDWPCommands.h
JavaVM.h
NSJavaConfiguration.h
NSJavaVirtualMachine.h
jawt.h
jawt_md.h
jdwpTransport.h
jni.h
jni_md.h
jvmti.h
