Sam (3 days 16 hours ago): Doesn’t work for me! I am using Matlab 2018a, no different at all, even the exe file size is the same.
Joonas T. Holmi (19 days 9 hours ago): Very good comment Yair! I posted the above function too hastily… I will have to apologize for claiming above that it allows updating MATLAB’s jar files without...
Yair Altman (21 days 5 hours ago): @Claudio – I don’t know exactly what you did in your code, the following works perfectly fine for me on R2020a: jComponent = com.jidesoft.combobox.DateComb oBox;...
Yair Altman (23 days 5 hours ago): Thanks for sharing Joonas – this seems useful indeed. Users who will use your script are probably savvy Java programmers, who don’t need a reminder of the dangers in...
Joonas T. Holmi (23 days 5 hours ago): Yair and others, I found yet another way to add files to Java’s class path. See the function java_class_path_add_before_sta tic(file) below. Benefit of this new method...

Maurizio (58 days 11 hours ago): Thank you Yair, I’ve supposed it, but I was not sure. Maurizio
Yair Altman (59 days 2 hours ago): headers is a simple cell array of strings (column header names). I thought that was pretty obvious from the context… Additional types of uitable customizations are...
Maurizio (59 days 2 hours ago): Hi Yair, i’m trying to use your code example to change the colors of a table cell, but I have a doubt: in the following part of your code: % Yellow background for significant...
Mike (62 days 4 hours ago): When I use the suggestion above to set the ‘defaultAxesCreateFcn 217;, it works as expected in that the axes toolbar is gone and the default behavior is to zoom. However,...
