RE: How do I install the java and jhandles packages?

[Scott Haynes]

This thread may be useful to you.

It starts assuming that you have installed jdk 1.6 and goes through installing GLUEGEN, JOGL and Jhandles.
In my situation the package manager did not work as I installed octave forge packages using yum instead of the package manager. I had to rebuild the octave java package using jdk 1.6 to make jhandles work even thought the octave forge version functioned correctly.

best of luck
