Details:

When using ./run-octave, with separate source and build dirs, invoking a Java
function errors out complaining about octave.jar:


address@hidden octdev]$ ./run-octave --no-gui
GNU Octave, version 3.7.0+
:
<snip>

octave:1> javaclasspath
error: octave jar does not exist:
/home/philip/devel/octdev/../octave/scripts/java/octave.jar
error: called from:
error:   /home/philip/devel/octdev/../octave/scripts/java/javaclasspath.m at
line 49, column 14
octave:1>


However, octave.jar lives in the development tree,
./octdev/scripts/java/octave.jar
Indeed, copying octave.jar to the source tree (./octave/scripts/java/) makes
all Java commands work.

This situation will lead to problems as soon as there are formal tests for the
Java functions and a 'make check' is performed right after building.
