jhandles on windows problem

[Hall, Benjamin]

I'd like to try out jhandles on the windows 3.0.1 version of Octave, but I
am having some trouble.

If I try to run octave with jhandles as the default graphics backend, Octave
seg-faults before a prompt appears.  The same happens when I try to execute
"pkg laod jhandles".  I believe that the default version of java on our
system is 1.4.2, but we've got 1.6.0 also available.  I've tried to setup my
environment to find 1.6, but none of my efforts have made any change in the
behavior.

Is there anything that I can try that might help me track down the problem?
Should I be able to run any of the .jar files outside of octave?

Thanks
Ben
