Ok, I am not that familiar with the windows version of octave. I have one for 
testing on a virtual machine.
I can see there is jhandles available by default (octave 3.2.4).
My question is now:
Are you familiar with jogl and java or is this also new to you?
I guess your widget shall do things which are not available by default with 
the plotting capabilities of octave?
In principle you simply program your widget with your favourite java 
development environment and then invoke your widget from octave, you do not 
need to call jogl directly from octave (this would most likely result in a 
complete mess).

Look at java_new and java_invoke functions (help java_new ... from the octave 
command line) in the java package howto create a java object and call its 
methods to get the idea.
