matlabpool is not supported because Java is not currently available

I'm trying to run MultiStart solver in parallel from my c++ code. I compiled the matlab function containing matlabpool open 16 into a c++ shared library. However, when I call the function from c++ code, I get the following: Error using ==> matlabpool>iVerifyJava at 379 matlabpool is not supported because Java is not currently available.

Error in ==> matlabpool at 92

The shared library was compiled without -nojvm option. I guess, I have to use some additional argument when calling mclInitializeApplication. This is how I call it currently:

const char *args[] = {"-nodesktop", "-nodisplay", "-nosplash"};
if (!mclInitializeApplication(args, 3))
{
  std::cerr << "mclInitializeApplication = false";
  return false;
}

There is an option -java (<http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/compiler/mclinitializeapplication.html)>, but when I try to use, it doesn't recognize it.

Any ideas?

What version of MATLAB are you using?

Hi Linar,

for using mclInitializeApplications for a shared library I would usually pass no arguments at all, i.e.,

if (!mclInitializeApplication(NULL, 0))

although I doubt this will make a difference, does it?

Hi Titus,

originally I didn't pass any arguments and it didn't work as well.

I was just trying to find out an argument which enables java.

Of course, "-nodesktop", "-nodisplay", "-nosplash" don't do this, but -nodisplay for example helps to get rid of unwanted plots which I found helpful.
