Running existing java-based GUI in matlab

Dear All, I've a java-based GUI (JFEFF: http://feffproject.org/feffproject-feff.html) contains a few parameters that we optimize with matlab using a genetic algorithm. Currently we have to run both of matlab and JFEFF GUI simultaneously, instead of desired run the java-application inside of matlab. This would allow us to reduce significantly the time associated with each optimisation, improve calculations stability, and enables us to use the PCs in conjunction with optimisation. Does anybody has some suggestion in how to do this? All the best Jacinto

Hi Jacinto,

I understand that wish to call the Java GUI from within MATLAB. You could build the GUI into a jar and call the constructor or a method from within MATLAB. You could also add the Java class files to the MATLAB classpath and call the required methods:

The below links may be useful in providing examples for this approach:

Hope this helps!
