Follow-up Comment #5, bug #57202 (project octave):

Right, it should be possible to improve octave_w32_shlib to test for the
existence of the file separately from the call to LoadLibrary, and return a
more accurate error message to indicate whether the file is truly not found or
whether it could not be loaded for another reason. I think that would help
improve the ambiguity of the current error message you get from javaMethod:
"could not find library or dependencies". That's the first point.

I agree that javachk should not be extended. Calling it with the feature name
"jvm" is the simplest documented method to test for whether Java exists and
works or not. It's possible we could add more expressive error messages to
that function as well. That's the second point, how to best propagate error
messages that are useful for the user who calls "version -java" and "javachk"
and wants to know how to diagnose it when Java isn't found.
