Follow-up Comment #1, bug #38532 (project octave):
It seems like one potential benefit to including octave.jar in the
distribution is that we guarantee the byte code that user's get. If we just
distribute Java source then whatever Java compiler happens to be lying around
will be used. And I'm pretty sure that the different compilers produce
different bytecode when fed a longish source code file.
