Yes, I thought of that too, but:
(1) I saw no warnings about deprecated "dispatch" when installing the
java package.
(2) In the java pkg PKG_ADD
(...\lib\octave\packages\java-1.2.8\i686-pc-mingw32-api-v45+ there are
no dispatch statements at all, while there are many in the corresponding
windows-1.0.8 pkg PKG_ADD.
(3) In __java__.cc there's no "dispatch" text snippet to be found,
__COM__.cc is riddled with it (DISPATCH_METHOD etc). But I might be
looking in the wrong place.

Do you have the latest java code? Martin Hepperle fixed a lot of code
that induced warning errors during compilation.
As to debugging: can you give any hint in what part of the code I should
look? (I'm not good in c++ but I can always give it a try)
Thanks,
Philip
