How do I install the java and jhandles packages?

[Matthias Brennwald]

Dear all

I tried to install the java and jhandles packages. I have Octave 3.0
running on an Ubuntu 8.04 machine. I downloaded the java package and the
jhandles package to my Desktop. I couldn't find any specific
instructions on how to install the java and jhandles packages, so I
assumed installing them works the same way as with other packages. I did
the following in Octave:

------------------------------------
octave:1> cd Desktop/
octave:2> pkg install java-1.2.4.tar.gz 
octave:3> pkg install jhandles-0.3.3.tar.gz 
make: *** [all] Error 255
'make' returned the following error: make: Entering directory
`/tmp/oct-Swp9i8/jhandles-0.3.3/src'
Java support not compiled
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/oct-Swp9i8/jhandles-0.3.3/src'
error: called from `configure_make' in
file /usr/local/share/octave/3.0.0+/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1251, column 2
error: called from `install' in file `/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.0
+/m/pkg/pkg.m'
error: evaluating switch command near line 275, column 1
error: called from `pkg' in file `/usr/local/share/octave/3.0.0
+/m/pkg/pkg.m'
------------------------------------

What am I doing wrong?
