Use Java 11 jar files in Matlab

Hello,

i'm trying to use a java 11 .jar file in my application. As far as i know Matlab can only run Java 8 .jar files.

Is there a way to work around this?

Thanks for your help in advance!

You can use following java compiler (javac) option:

--release <release>
Compile for a specific VM version. Supported targets: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

which generate JAR file for specific JAVA version (release).

But I don't know what to do in case you want to run Java 8 compiled JAR file on future versions of MATLAB with JAVA 11 internal engine. TMW does not presents any road-map for internal java engine regarding future MATLAB releases.
