Sim.I.Am gets an error "

I downloaded a program for Matlab called Sim.I.Am, but whenever I try to run "launch" in this program I get the following error:

Error using getappdata Value must be a handle.

Error in GridLayout/Update (line 282) OldPosition = getappdata(Obj.Container,'Position');

Error in GridLayout/GridLayout/@(hsrc,ev)Update(Obj,true)

Error using uicontainer Error while evaluating UIContainer SizeChangedFcn

No appropriate method, property, or field 'fHG1Client' for class 'com.mathworks.hg.peer.HG2FigurePeer'.

Error in simiam.ui.AppWindow/create_layout (line 202) jClient = jFrame.fHG1Client;

Error in simiam.ui.AppWindow/load_ui (line 69) obj.create_layout();

Error in launch (line 18) app.load_ui();

It's supposed to work (not really do anything, but work) without changing anything, so I think I might be missing a library or something, but I have no idea what.

Here's the code for launch.m:

function launch()

clear java;
clear classes;

if (isdeployed)
    [path, folder, ~] = fileparts(ctfroot);
    root_path = fullfile(path, folder);
else
    root_path = fileparts(mfilename('fullpath'));
end
addpath(genpath(root_path));

app = simiam.ui.AppWindow(root_path, false);
app.load_ui();

end

Error in simiam.ui.AppWindow/create_layout (line 202) jClient = jFrame.fHG1Client;

Change the code to jClient = jFrame.fHG2Client;

That will help with the error regarding the HG1Client, for getappdata, I will post as soon as I figure it out.

This message seems to be a useful hint to the problem:

 No appropriate method, property, or field 'fHG1Client' for class 'com.mathworks.hg.peer.HG2FigurePeer'

The code is designed to work with Matlab's HG1 graphics. It will not run with modern Matlab versions. Ask the authors for instructions.
