Java error in editor in R2013b

New computer running windows 7 enterprise. I Installed Matlab 2013b. Whenever I launch the editor I get the following error

Undefined function 'rmiml.getAll' for input arguments of type 'char'.

Undefined function 'rmiml.visibleInToolstrip' for input arguments of type 'char'.

I am getting the same. Windows 7 Pro. Previous installation was R2013a.

Just a note to the original poster: This problem was resolved for me by uninstalling and reinstalling R2013b.

I had the same error, and it stopped my own GUI-based programmes running to boot.

My problem started when I launched an old version (2011a) to test some code. I had changed some paths during my testing. I then followed Scott's advice about re-installing, but the error still happened. I then uninstalled all versions of Matlab from my machine, taking care to clear out all settings and to delete folder remnants after the uninstaller finished.

I re-installed 2013b, but still had the same problem! Then I noticed my old paths still existed. I deleted my pathdef file that was sitting in Documents/Matlab folder, restarted Matlab, and all is good!

That worked for me. Thanks a lot.

Yes, the following should resolve it:

restoredefaultpath;
rehash toolboxcache;

If it does,

savepath
