Re: New install, Java setup

[Brenden Towey]

Thanks for the reply.  I should have figure out some of that info on my 
own but I wouldn't have thought to include all of it.

OS: Windows 10
GNU Octave: version 5.1.0, configure for "x86_64-w64-mingw32"
Java: I have both JDK 1.8.0 u 131, and JDK 11.0.1 installed.  Both are 
64 bit versions.
