Indeed, the configure script is designed for Windows and Linux. It hasn't
been tested on Mac OSX (the above looks like Mac OSX, isn't it?)
A patch for extra/java/src/configure.base is welcome.

I guess John would consider a patch as well.

You can test the java package with the following simple script:

f = java_new('java.awt.Frame');
f.setSize(300,300);
f.show(); % this shows the window
sleep(10);
f.dispose(); % this closes the window

Did you grab the java package from CVS? (this is required). If yes, can you
check that the octave.jar file used at jhandles compilation time contains the
file org/octave/Matrix.class? (a jar file is simply a zip file, you
can inspect it
with "jar" or any zip utility)
If it still does not work, can you report the compilation log?
