Can't import Java library jdde in MATLAB

4 views (last 30 days)
I'm trying to use jdde, but I can't access the classes in the jar file from MATLAB:
javaaddpath('C:\jdde\pretty-tools-JDDE-1.0.2.jar')
conversation = DDEClientConversation();
I get the following error:
??? Undefined function or variable 'DDEClientConversation'.
According to the documentation and the many examples I've looked at this should work. How do I use this library in MATLAB? What is my mistake?
Edit:
I tried adding the package to my static class path, but now I get the following error:
>> conversation = com.pretty_tools.dde.client.DDEClientConversation();
Warning: A Java exception occurred trying to load the com/pretty_tools/dde/client/DDEClientConversation class:

JavaDDEx64 looks like a shared library/dll which cannot be found. You need to add it to the library path. A quick way, if you have access, is just to put a copy in your matalbroot()/bin/$arch folder ($arch will be macos/win64 etc).

Thanks, this was the solution! Since I don't have writing privilege on my matlabroot, I added 'C:\jdde\' to a copy of librarypath.txt that now resides in my startup folder. JavaDDEx64.dll which is located there is now found by MATLAB.

I am facing a similar problem. I have a JAR file(fbsc.jar) with two class files. They are both based on another JAR file which I am able to successfully inport and use. When I import the class files of fbsc.jar in JAVA and use it I am able to do it succesfully. However when I do it in MATLAB(2012a) I get the error undefined function or variable.
I have added it in the dynamic path. Still no use. I am not able to figure out what am I doing wrong. I have been stuck on it for days now and still no progress.Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks

R2012a uses Java 6 by default. Has fbsc.jar been compiled with a later Java version?
