Details:

There was a time, where java integration was in fact a package. 
Still, java runtime is needed by some packages. 
It would be nice if one could add a dependency 
not only on other packages or on octave but also on java runtime. 

In the manual Section 37.4.1 description file of packages is described and
also the dependency. 

I would find it useful to be able to write something like 

Depends: java (>= 9)
