Adding jars to matlab

I have two computers. Computer A has matlab on and I use to write GUI's and then compile them. Computer B has hardware attached and 3rd party open source software. In order to allow matlab to run the 3rd party, I need to add a few jar files to the class path. Walter has kindly showed me to use e.g.:

javaaddpath(C:/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/MMCoreJ.jar','-end')

But, my Computer A does not have these jar files on, these belong only on Computer B. Computer B also does not have matlab, but does have the MCR, so I want to use computer A to compile my matlab GUI to run on computer B, but to use the jar files from Computer B (associated with the open source program)

So does using the code above, on Computer A (where there are no jars), allow my GUI, when compiled and run on computer B to include these jars. Is there a better way to ensure the compiled code has access to the jars?

Sorry if this is confusing.

Thanks Jason

Jason,

You may achieve this by adding the JAR file only for compiled applications, which can be done using "isdeployed" as follows:

if isdeployed
  javaaddpath('C:/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/MMCoreJ.jar','-end')
end

This makes sure that the JAR file is added in machine B and not in machine A.

Hmmm. It doesn't like the last end command:

Illegal use of reserved keyword "end".

[Dasharath Gulvady]

Could you double check the syntax to make sure the arguments are enclosed in single quotes? Also, does it work as expected without using '-end'?

[Jason]

Yes this now works:

if isdeployed
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/MMCoreJ.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/MMAcqengine.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/MMJ_.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/clojure.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/bsh-2.0b4.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/swingx-0.9.5.jar','-end');
    javaaddpath('C:/Program Files/Micro-Manager-1.4/plugins/Micro-Manager/swing-layout-1.0.4.jar','-end');
end

Thankyou

Is it possible to add them (or include them) as its compiling so there is no need for them on the target PC?

[Dasharath Gulvady]

Yes, you can include those JARs by using "Files required for your library to run" option in deploytool. Note that, once you add, you can simply assume that the included JARs are in the current folder (no absolute path for the JARs are required)

[Jason]

Do you mean "Files Required for your application to run" as I am making a standalone .EXE
