both Octave and Java are 64bit.

source files:
jre-8u231-windows-x64.exe
octave-5.1.0-w64.7z

installed in usual locations.

looking at how version checks for java,  i manually ran one of the checks

>>  jname = javaMethod ("getProperty", "java.lang.System", "java.vm.name");

error: javaMethod: could not find library or dependencies: C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.8.0_231\bin\server\jvm.dll

yet i can cd to that folder and see it. i have no problem running Java
from outside octave, so I don't think its a permissions error.

frustrating...
