Problem with Octave and Java

[lordfkiller]

I have installed Octave (from repos) for the first time. I also installed the Java API package.
When I run octave from terminal, here's what I get

warning: timestamp on file /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so is in the future

The problem is it is looking for OpenJDK whereas I use Oracle Java. JAVA_HOME is correctly set to /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle, so is PATH.

So how can I tell Octave where to look for JRE and/or JDK?

Thanks

Look in here : http://wiki.octave.org/Java_package#...e_to_Octave.3F
( I am using this wiki page for more elemental actions and find it very useful , this java chapter seems exhausive)
