Can I run a "clear java" command but still keep a variable in the workspace?

Hi:

I am trying to run "clear java" after temporarily modifying some files in the dynamic Java path. This also clears all variables from the workspace. Is there a way to keep one or more variables in the workspace (e.g. a la clearvars)? I'm currently writing the variables I need to a temporary *.mat file, and this seems far too hacky. Thanks all!

I guess you can store those java variables in a structure and run "clear java"; the variables should still be available in the structure;

Elias: STRUCT arrays are cleared along with all other variables in the workspace when calling "clear java." I am looking for a command or method which can be used to keep a specified variable in the workspace when calling "clear java."

The documentation of clear is very clear (!). Only class definitions and import are not cleared by clear java. The only way to keep your variables is indeed to save and restore them.

Fair enough - and an extra point to you for the pun!
