Error starting deploy tool (library compiler)

I am running r2014a and I need to export some code in java. I am using the latest JDK (1.8). I need matlab to use this version, so I followed the instructions on this thread:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/103056-how-do-i-change-the-java-virtual-machine-jvm-that-matlab-is-using-for-mac-os

The workaround works (I confirm using 'version -java' at the command line, showing 1.8).

However, when I try to launch deploytool, I get the following error:

Error using libraryCompiler (line 32) Java exception occurred: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expression: platform/windows at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.DefaultXpathEvaluator.compileXPath(DefaultXpathEvaluator.java:40) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.DefaultXpathEvaluator.compileXPath(DefaultXpathEvaluator.java:16) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.SimpleExpression$1.run(SimpleExpression.java:464) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.SimpleExpression$Token.getCompiledXpath(SimpleExpression.java:393) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.SimpleExpression$TokenType$2.evaluate(SimpleExpression.java:145) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.SimpleExpression.evaluate(SimpleExpression.java:62) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.ExpressionBasedTargetAttribute.evaluateString(ExpressionBasedTargetAttribute.java:72) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.ExpressionBasedTargetAttribute.evaluateBoolean(ExpressionBasedTargetAttribute.java:66) at com.mathworks.project.impl.model.Target.isEnabled(Target.java:437) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.PluginManager.discardDisabledTargets(PluginManager.java:662) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.PluginManager.readTargets(PluginManager.java:251) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.PluginManager.getTargets(PluginManager.java:230) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.PluginManager.getTarget(PluginManager.java:368) at com.mathworks.toolbox.compiler.desktop.DeploytoolLaunchPad.startLibraryTool(DeploytoolLaunchPad.java:128) Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: XPathFactory#newInstance() failed to create an XPathFactory for the default object model: http://java.sun.com/jaxp/xpath/dom with the XPathFactoryConfigurationException: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactoryConfigurationException: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory: jar:file:/Applications/MATLAB_R2014a.app/java/jarext/saxon9-xpath.jar!/META-INF/services/javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory:2: Illegal configuration-file syntax at javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory.newInstance(XPathFactory.java:102) at com.mathworks.project.impl.plugin.DefaultXpathEvaluator.compileXPath(DefaultXpathEvaluator.java:36) ... 13 more

Any ideas on how to launch the library compiler?

Answer 1

[Vijay Nahar]

Have you tried going to the APPs menue then clicking on the Matlab Compiler icon?

[Anthony]

I don't have a "Matlab Compiler" icon, but I have tried clicking the "Library Compiler" icon, which produces the aforementioned error. I need to ultimately launch Builder JA.

I am experiencing the same issue.

Has been solved it in the meanwhile?
