I have octave installed with variants:

    octave 
@4.0.2_0+app+atlas+docs+fltk+gfortran+graphicsmagick+java+qt4gui+sound 

When I try to run octave from command line, I get pop-up window:

    ‘To open “this Java application” you need to
     install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime.”

Under OS X 10.11.5, I have Java JDK 1.8 (specifically, the current 1.8.0_91) 
and the corresponding Java runtime 1.8.

[While I know that I have Java 6 runtime actually present on my system, so it’s 
available to certain older apps that require it, the active Java runtime is 
Java 8 (1.8).]

Is the best course simply to remove the +java variant for octave, or will I 
lose some substantial functionality?

(I’m unsure why I installed with the +java variant in the first place!)
