## @deftypefn {Function File} {} usejava (@var{feature})
## Return true if the Java element @var{feature} is available.
##
## Possible features are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item "awt"
## Abstract Window Toolkit for GUIs.
##
## @item "desktop"
## Interactive desktop is running.
##
## @item "jvm"
## Java Virtual Machine.
##
## @item "swing"
## Swing components for lightweight GUIs.
## @end table
##
## @code{usejava} determines if specific Java features are available in an
## Octave session.  This function is provided for scripts which may alter
## their behavior based on the availability of Java.  The feature "desktop"
## always returns @code{false} as Octave has no Java-based desktop.  Other
## features may be available if Octave was compiled with the Java Interface
## and Java is installed.
