> I was not aware that Java-commands could be issued from the Matlab command line. How did you manage to figure this one out?

Plain old detective work, lots of trial-and-error, digging around in Matlab's m-files for hints, common sense, much frustrations etc. - no easy way I'm afraid...

> Is there an overview of Matlab Java-commands somewhere on the web? 

All this is very deep in undocumented territory, I'm afraid. The Matlab-to-Java interface is described here: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_external/f44062.html. However, all the internal Java classes/interfaces of Matlab remain undocumented, as well as the Java-to-Matlab interface. For a reason I don't fully understand, MathWorks elects to downplay the Matlab-Java interoperability. Look around in my Java-related submissions on the File Exchange for some information.

Matlab is really exciting - there's an endless list of undocumented nooks and crannies - Java is just one of these areas (admittedly one of the biggest)...
