Executing a MATLAB script from Java gives EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error

Question

I am trying to call a MATLAB function from Java, using Eclipse. I am using MATLAB R2018b (the trial version), JDK 11.0.1, and Eclipse 2018-09. Both MATLAB and Eclipse are 64 bit versions. I am on a Windows 64 bit machine.

I am using the MatlabEngine, as per this example: https://uk.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/execute-matlab-functions-from-java.html

If I try to run the following code snippet (copied verbatim from the above link) from my main method

MatlabEngine eng = MatlabEngine.startMatlab();
double[] a = {2.0, 4.0, 6.0};
double[] roots = eng.feval("sqrt", a);
for (double e : roots) {
    System.out.println(e);
}
eng.close();

... I get the following error:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x0000005700000b95, pid=11028, tid=11252

I tried Googling the error message, but to no avail. What is going on here?

Did you try reading F:\research\software\code\eclipse_workspace\tests\hs_err_pid11028.log? — Elliott Frisch

@ElliottFrisch I did - it starts with the same error message, and then continues with a lot of detail in which I get lost. — rdv

I can confirm that this also happens on IntelliJ 2018.3.2 x64 (i.e. it's not an Eclipse-specific issue). Win 10 and R2018b here. This might be related. — Dev-iL

I recently had this exact error (but with Matlab R2020b). For anyone still interested, swiching the runtime JRE from JDK11 to JDK-8.0.275.1 solved the problem.
