Comments on: MATLAB and the new Java update on the Mac http://blogs.mathworks.com/desktop/2008/10/06/matlab-and-the-new-java-update-on-the-mac/ Ken & Mike work on the MATLAB Desktop team Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:22:21 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Josh http://blogs.mathworks.com/desktop/2008/10/06/matlab-and-the-new-java-update-on-the-mac/#comment-6421 Josh Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:07:25 +0000 http://blogs.mathworks.com/desktop/2008/10/06/matlab-and-the-new-java-update-on-the-mac/#comment-6421 Ken, I just installed a Java update last night, and the problem is gone! The issue was exactly as Felix described. My MATLAB version is 7.0.1.24704 (R14) Service Pack 1, and I am now running Java 1.5.0_19, and it's working fine. Thanks for your speedy assistance, Josh. Ken,

What version of MATLAB are you using (type "version" at the MATLAB command prompt)? What version of Java are you using (type "version -java" at the MATLAB command prompt)? -Ken Hi Josh,

What is the exact problem you’re seeing? What version of MATLAB are you using (type “version” at the MATLAB command prompt)? What version of Java are you using (type “version -java” at the MATLAB command prompt)?

-Ken

Ian,

I bought R2008b since my old student version didn't have the controls toolbox and i'm taking controls this semester. It'd be a real bummer that i just dropped $100 for MATLAB with a code editor is is effectively impossible to use. I was losing my mind last night just trying to write a quick 10 line .m file for class since the cursor jumps all over the place. Will students of the student edition get a patch for these issues as well?

And then choose not to do any Java updates until someone else notices things are OK. 2) performance: run VMware Fusion with Windows XP, install Matlab, get 2X the performance without having to reboot into bootcamp. Yes, 2X performance even with the emulator in the way. Those who would choose not to buy XP might consider Linux. I'd be interested to hear any results. Two things:

The graphics stack on the Mac is currently not as optimal as it could be - we have a team working on this issue. -Ken @Bill,
