Error Starting Desktop (java.lang​.NullPoint​erExceptio​n)

I just installed Matlab_R2014a on OS X 10.10 and I'm getting the error below on startup. I've tried updating the java installed but the issue persists. In the installation I accepted every toolbox (as I don't know which ones we'll be heading).
