Hi Heron,
have you installed the octave-forge packages as described in the README?
See
http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.6.2%20for%20Windows%20MinGW%20installer/
Chapter 3. Manual installation instructions for the Octave-forge packages

I've installed octave3.6.2_gcc4.6.2 and Octave3.6.2_gcc4.6.2_pkgs_20120613.7z as
described in the README on a WindowsXP Pro 32bit
(don't forget the pkg rebuild steps) and the java packages works like a charm:
octave:1> v = javaObject ("java.util.Vector")
v =
<Java object: java.util.Vector>
octave:2> javamem
Java virtual machine (JVM) memory info:
Maximum available memory:           63 MiB;
   (...running garbage collector...)
OK, current status:
Total memory in virtual machine:     4 MiB;
Free memory in virtual machine:      4 MiB;
4 CPUs available.
