I have built octave-4.0.0 on lubunutu 12.04 (32bit) using gcc-4.8.1.
Interestingly "test ov-java.cc-tst" passes.

>> test ov-java.cc-tst
PASSES 5 out of 5 tests

On lubuntu 14.04 (32 bit), I have used openjdk-7-jdk, openjdk-7-jre, 
openjdk-7-jre-headless (7u79-2.5.5-0ubuntu)
while on 12.04, I have used openjdk-6-jdk, openjdk-6-jre, and  
openjdk-6-jre-headless (6b35-1.13.7-1ubunutu0.12.04.2).

I do not know the difference comes from the openjdk version difference at the 
moment.

On ubuntu 12.04, one can use openjdk-7. I may try it tomorrow if I have time.
