Java was unavailable or disabled when Octave was built

[aditiiyer]

• [x] I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.

Issue: Per the error message, the current Octave distribution was not built with Java support.

I am trying to invoke Java methods in a Jupyter notebook run on AWS Studio Lab via octave magic. Octave v6.4.0 was installed in the notebook via conda. Octave functionality works well in the environment, except for Java methods, which fail with the error message: “error: javaObject: support for Java was unavailable or disabled when Octave was built.”

Steps to reproduce the error

• Create conda env conda create -n test_env python==3.7 conda activate test_env

• Define JAVA_HOME

• Install octave conda install -y -c octave oct2py octave_kernel

• In Jupyer notebook with Octave kernel: %%octave javaObject(“java.math.BigDecimal”,1.001)
