Hey Guys,

I'm operating on a relatively fresh installation of Snow Leopard and
just put Matlab 2009a on it. When I load up Matlab, I get the lovely
java error:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at apple.awt.CGraphicsEnvironment.resetDisplays
(CGraphicsEnvironment.java:100)
at apple.awt.CGraphicsEnvironment.displayChanged
(CGraphicsEnvironment.java:50)

at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:

>>

Any suggestions on getting over this? Something to do w/ my java.opts
perhaps?

Thanks folks,
Adam

Hi everyone

I just came across this problem too. I used Java Preferences to re-order the preferred versions of Java for applications (bottom half of first tab) to prefer the 32-bit over the 64-bit and was able to activate with no problems after that.

Hi Peter,

This is a known issue with Apple's Java and is reported on our web site.
It is not something to worry about, unless it keeps happening while
running MATLAB. If that happens, quit and restart MATLAB. We expect
that Apple will have a Java update available soon that resolves this issue.

- Brian
