Can't call Matlab from Java code with macOS Catalina

Using this two macs:

1) macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, macBook pro 2011

2) macOS Catatalina 10.15.1, mac mini 2018

Both with Matlab 2019a, and Eclipse IDE for Java Developers 4.11.0

My project runs with JAVA SE -1.8 (is exactly the same java project, shared over dropbox)

In the mac with macOS Catalina, I get an error when I try to run a Java file even if it has NO reference to matlab engine (see picture "Code and error.png"):

But has Environment needed to connect to Matalb in the "Run configuration" (see picture "environment.png").

Running the same in the mac with High Sierra I have no problem.

The error I get is:

dyld: Symbol not found: _mecab_get_feature

Referenced from: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreNLP.framework/Versions/A/CoreNLP

Expected in: /Applications/MATLAB_R2019a.app/bin/maci64/libmecab.dylib

in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreNLP.framework/Versions/A/CoreNLP

You should expect DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to be ignored for anything installed under /Applications for sure in any release later than High Sierra, and you should not be suprised if it happens in High Sierra.

Apple does not list /Applications as protected, but in practice it is.

It worked with "csrutil disable", thanks!

Any idea if it is possible to grant specific access only to java-matlab, so I don't need to disable the system integrity protection all the time?

I don't think I know of any way to disable SIP for a particular application.
