I'm following a MATLAB example of wrapping a MATLAB function in a Java interface [1]. The sample driver (i.e., invoker of the wrapped function) compiles without errors or any messages, but `java` says that it can't find/load the main class, i.e., the sample driver.
The MATLAB function to be wrapped is exactly as it is on the web page (and in fact, it comes with the MATLAB installation):
" makesqr.m
"----------
function y = makesqr(x)
y = magic(x);
The sample invoker is extremely simple:
" makesqrSample1.m
"-----------------
x = 3;
y = makesqr(x);
Everything is exactly as shown in the webpage. I get all the files described in this file summary [2].
Things start to depart from expected in the "Install and Implement MATLAB Generated Java Application" section. Step 3 refers to a sample invoker `getmagic.java` instead of the `makesqrSample1.java` (automagically generated by MATLAB from `makesqrSample1.m` above). I assume that this is a typo.
With `makesqr.jar` and `makesqrSample1.java` in the same (current working) directory, the following compilation issues no messages or errors.
javac -cp \
"makesqr.jar;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\toolbox\javabuilder\jar\javabuilder.jar" \
makesqrSample1.java
This creates makesqrSample1.class in the same folder. Here is the error from execution:
java -cp \
"makesqr.jar;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019a\toolbox\javabuilder\jar\javabuilder.jar" \
makesqrSample1
Error: Could not find or load main class makesqrSample1
I checked that the that auto-generated makesqrSample1.java does have `main` (see ANNEX below).
This is a minimal example, following the documentation faithfully. What is causing `main` to not be recognized?
Contextual details
- Version output (select details):
MATLAB Version: 9.6.0.1072779 (R2019a)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0 (Build 18362)
Java Version: Java 1.8.0_181-b13 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode
MATLAB Compiler Version 7.0.1 (R2019a)
MATLAB Compiler SDK Version 6.6.1 (R2019a)
C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.265.01-hotspot
- Since I have MATLAB installed, I didn't get the MATLAB Runtime (and from past experience, it has never been clear how/whether the Runtime is being used when MATLAB is installed). The the problem is occurring right up front finding/loading `main`.
