Does matlab intend to drop support for calling java altogether? I don't need tech support, but is it safe to assume the ability to call java will be around in the future?

The latest LTS JDK is 17, soon to be 21. Is it safe to assume matlab will support future LTS JDK releases?

Greetings, does R2023b support Java 17? Or is Java 11 still the latest supported version?

I would hope to be able to use Java 17, because Java 21 is now the latest LTS, and we'd like to stay not more than 1 LTS release behind.

Hi Roger,

As per the documentation of R2023b the latest supported version is Java 11 .
