MATLAB: Does javaclasspath.txt not set the static javaclasspath when I re-start MATLAB

javaclasspathMATLAB

Here's a neat shortcut to restart MATLAB shared ed by Sean de Wolski . I added a shortcut onto my desktop to do just this!
But here's my problem:
Suppose I start MATLAB normally my static javaclasspath matches the file javaclasspath.txt stored in my userpath. Now I type at the command line
system('matlab &');
and a new instance of MATLAB gets going but this one has a different static javaclasspath – items that I added in my javaclasspath.txt don't appear and consequently my database links don't work.

Why does the contents of javaclasspath.txt not get added to the static class path when I double-click on an M-file to start MATLAB 8.1 (R2013a)?
