He seems to have 3.8.1 running. AFAIU Markus has Java support built-in with
his latest binary installers.
Installing Java into a 3.8.x build will lead to big problems

To the OP: what does

octave_config_info ("features").JAVA

return? 
If 1, Java support is OK.
If 0, you're SOL.

As to installing LibreOffice, that looks absolute minimum Windows
proficiency to me.
- If you install LO in C:\Program Files (X86),
- and if the answer to Java support was 1, 
Octave 3.8.x and io-2.2.2 should automatically set up the required
javaclasspath entries for you when loading the io package. Then you can also
use the UNO interface (= LibreOffice behind the scenes).
