MATLAB: Using 2018b javaclasspath.txt doesn’t seem to get loaded during batch startup.

Question

I am trying to run matlab 2018b in batch mode under windows using the task scheduler. The command options are:

-useStartupFolderPref -nosplash -minimize -r my_script_file

I have a javaclasspath.txt file in my startup folder. my_script_file works when matlab is launched by double clicking the icon. During the batch mode startup, the java class path does not include the contents of my javaclasspath.txt file – it does when matlab is started by double click.

Am I doing something wrong?

Answer 1

Have you attempted putting your javaclasspath.txt file in your preferences directory instead of your startup directory? The preferences directory can be found by executing the following command:

prefdir
