This error has been seen on Intel-Based Mac systems when using R2006b or earlier. MATLAB R2006b and earlier is not supported on Intel-Based Mac systems. See the Mac system requirements below for more information about system requirements:

MATLAB: “Java not enabled” in deployed app

In case anyone else encounters this issue of JVM not being available in compiled Matlab apps (e.g. due to compiling p-coded files) here is the solution:

From Matworks support:

"MATLAB Compiler, during the dependency analysis, actually tries to determine whether your application requires Java or not. If the analysis concludes your application does not require Java, Java support is indeed automatically disabled when you run the application, this is expected behavior; this increases startup performance and reduces resource (mainly memory) usage."

So in the aforementioned example one should modify the function to include a command that requires Java, e.g.:

function checkJavaVersion
  % Actually do something using Java
  javaString = java.lang.String('myString');
  version -java
