[Scilab-users] Changing Java JDK/JRE version used by Scilab

Depending on your platform, there is a standard way to change it however
Scilab is distributed using an old JVM to avoid regressions, avoid doing
that. Basically, setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable change the
selected JVM.

Again depending on your platform and JVM, jcompile can use a more recent
compiler ; ecj is provided as a fallback compiler.
