Also note that last I checked, on macOS (and I think Linux), Octave gets
built against a specific version of the JVM, so you need to have that
exact JVM release installed (the exact "uXXX" number) or it won't be
found. If you installed a pre-built Octave, you'll need to find out
which JVM version it was built against.
