MATLAB R2020a engine API with Java11 (AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.7.10)

We have plan to use the JAVA11 on our application that connect to MATLAB by using the Engine API. However after tested MATLAB Engine API with Java11, our application crash when call the provided method to get the variable. (start engine and evaluate method work normally)

Is it possible to use the MATLAB engine API with Java11 ?

Or you have any workaround for getting the variable without using the getVariable method.

Quite embarassingly, now Matlab is pretty much the only tool that hasn't updated to Java 11 yet.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the engine supports Java applications built with JDK™ 7 or 8.

You can refer the following page for more details:

Hi,

are there any updates planned for the engine so that it supports applications built with JDK™ 11 in the future?

Best regards

I am curious about the direction The MathWorks intends to take here as well.

[Davide Gamba]

Any news on this?

Does MathWorks have any plans to upgrade Java API to supported Java versions?

Java 8 premiere support has ended in March 2022, so the outdated API is of no value.
