Re: Java error with io. Octave v. 3.6.2 mingw version on windows 7

[karthik ramachandran]

package list shows :   java *|   1.2.8 | C:\Octave\Octave3.6.1_gcc4.6.2\share\octave\packages\java-1.2.8

and PKG_ADD reads ; 

## PKG_ADD

## add paths of io pkg java jars if java pkg is installed and loaded

pkglist = pkg ("list");

javapkgind = find (cellfun(@(x) strcmp(x.name, "java"), pkglist), 1, "first");

if ~isempty (javapkgind)

  javapkg = pkglist{javapkgind};

  if javapkg.loaded

    # Assume jar files are in /lib/java and let chk_spreadsheet_support sort it out

    libdir = octave_config_info("libdir");

    spr_status = chk_spreadsheet_support ([libdir "/java"]);

  endif

endif

Any other suggestions?

And if this helps, it's most likely yet another bug in packaging system - a package should load all its dependencies first.
