Updated the documentation on the stable branch here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/dba7d8acc3e3).  This will be a part of the 4.2.1 bug fix release.

Entries in a java class path have to be .jar files or directories containing .class files (actually the roots of directory hierarchies mirroring the java package hierarchy).

Current octave documentation also lists "single class files" as possible entries in octave's java class paths. (see https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Making-Java-Classes-Available.html#Making-Java-Classes-Available , search for the word "single").

Adding single class files to the java class path does not work (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41127759 )

This patch fixes the documentation:
