A few days ago I've upgraded Linux on my laptop to Mageia 2, with
OpenJDK 1.7.0.3.
(copied from a Konsole terminal):
[philip@jvc741 ~]$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_b147-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (mageia-2.1.1.mga2-i386)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)
[philip@jvc741 ~]$
I've used it to test the io package (using the io_xls_testscript.m and
io_ods_testscript.m files) and to install the Java package; AFAICS all
work OK (save for Octave bug #36677 - canonicalize_file_name - which
does not help UNO support).

Do you have any detailed Java commands in Octave that crash? I could try
that on Mageia.
I suppose you started from a clean setup.
Here I installed Octave 3.6.1 from the mageia repository and used that
for installing the Java package (as root):
setenv ("JAVA_HOME", "/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3")
pkg install -forge -auto -verbose java
Somewhere along the lines I saw:
:
checking for java.../usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.3/bin/java
:
So, I suppose the problems lie with your system & build tools, not with
OpenJDK.
