[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55430] usejava starts the JVM if it hadn't been initialized yet

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #55430 (project octave):

Yeah I think we should just update the documentation so that usejava('jvm')
means the Java Virtual Machine is capable of being loaded.

Matlab's help contradicts themselves, where they say

> Use the following code snippet to terminate a script if MATLAB does not have
access to JVM™ software.

Which means that usejava('jvm') really means that Matlab has access to the
JVM, not whether it's running yet or not. I think in Matlab "JVM is running"
and "JVM is available" are interchangeable.
