Thread Subject: opening full matlab with engopen

Hi,
I am using the engOpen function to communicate with matlab from C and Fortran programs (via the COM server).
However, it only opens the "automation" version of matlab. Ideally I would like the full version (with toolbars, etc) to open.
I assume this must be possible?
thanks in advance

Even I want to do the same thing, but did not get any solution so far.

In Windows, this works.

Start Matlab from the command line, using the following options:
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009a\bin\matlab.exe -automation -desktop

This starts the Automation server, but with the Matlab desktop displayed too (it won't display by default). In your C program, use engSetVisible(ep, 0) to keep the extra command line from popping up.

if (!(ep = engOpen(NULL)))
{
    fprintf(stderr, "\nCan't start MATLAB engine\n");
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
}

engSetVisible(ep, 0);

I've been trying to do the same in JAVA using JMatLink. in JMatLink, 'engOpen' does not return any handle (in Windows platform). so i am not able to do 'engSetVisible(ep, 0);'

i got JMatLink from here: http://www.held-mueller.de/JMatLink/
