[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9439] Fix Java >1.8 on Mac

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #24, patch #9439 (project octave):

@Sebastian,

I spent more time looking at configure.ac, and found that if darwin is treated
like linux, but with the Framework added, Java works. Below is the snippet
from configure.ac.

2685   if test -z "$JAVA_LDPATH"; then
2686     ## Java failed to find it's own library path.  Guess wildly.
2687     JAVA_TMP_LDPATH=`ls -d $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/*/client`
2688     JAVA_TMP_LDPATH="${JAVA_TMP_LDPATH} `ls -d
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/*/server`"
2689     ## Add some paths that might work on Macs.
2690     JAVA_TMP_LDPATH="${JAVA_TMP_LDPATH} ${JAVA_HOME}/../Libraries
${JAVA_HOME}/Libraries"
2691     ## Add some paths that might work on MinGW
2692     JAVA_TMP_LDPATH="${JAVA_TMP_LDPATH} ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/client
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/server"
2693     for dir in $JAVA_TMP_LDPATH; do
2694       if test -f "$dir/$jvmlib"; then
2695         JAVA_LDPATH=$dir
2696         break
2697       fi
2698     done
2699   fi

I'm attaching a new patch (octave_devel_mac_java8.patch).
