Java Mac OSX 10.6 Update 12 Problem with Matlabpool?

I recently installed an automatic update for Java (yesterday). And since doing so, I am getting the following error when I attempt to run computations in parallel using matlabpool:
"??? Error using ==> matlabpool at 125 Java exception occurred: java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.logging.Logger.demandLogger(Logger.java:286) at java.util.logging.Logger.getLogger(Logger.java:321)
Error in ==> LR_SL at 50 matlabpool open 4;"
Before installing this update to Java, I have had no problems running matlabpool in the local configuration. It seems that this error is thrown in the subroutine iVerifyJava().
I am running Matlab 2010b. I have tried running the matlabpool command in 2010a, but to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Just repeating the previous requests for a 2010a fix. This is the most recent available version of 32-bit MATLAB for Mac, so I need to use this version.

It seems I have the same problem.
'matlabpool' command doesn't work anymore after I've installed Mac OS X Java update yesterday.
The environment is, Mac OS X 10.6.8, Java 1.6.0_39 (build 1.6.0_39-b04-442-10M4008), Matlab 2012a and 2012b.
But I guess I managed to fix the problem.
First, start up the Matlab.
Before executing your codes (probably containing 'matlabpool' command), just run the Cluster Profile Manager'. (In the menu, 'Parallel' >> 'Manage Cluster Profiles')
Then, close the Cluster Profile Manager. You don't have to do anything in it. Just open and close.
Now, try to run your codes.
This has fixed my problem though I have no idea why it works.
Good luck.

This trick used to work fine for me in the past, now every time I open "Parallel -> Manage Configurations", I get the following error:
_??? The class distcomp.typechecker has no property or method named 'getDefaultValue'.
Error in ==> distcomp.configsection.configsection at 50 obj.PropValue{i} = distcomp.typechecker.getDefaultValue(obj.Types{i});
Error in ==> distcomp.configuration.pConstructFromClassTypes at 39 obj.findResource = distcomp.configsection('findResource', props, types, isRW);
Error in ==> distcomp.configuration.pInitializeFromName at 21 obj.pConstructFromClassTypes(type);
Error in ==> distcomp.configuration.getJavaReference at 15 conf.pInitializeFromName(name);_
I use R2010a, so the bug report does not work for me. Does anyone else have found another way to go about this?

Amazing, it actually works!!! Great. Type 'prefdir', go to that folder and delete file parallel.setting. Initiate MATLAB, go to 'parallel' and 'manage cluster profiles', then close it. Matlab will create a new parallel.setting file inside prefdir folder. Then you can use parallel computing. Worked for me!! Thanks!!! Environment: MacOS 10.9.1, JAVA 1.7.0_51-b13, MATLAB 2013a. Cheeeeeeers!!!

This issue was brought to the attention of MathWorks Technical Support earlier this week. This issue is reproducible and being investigated together with Development. In case you contact MathWorks Technical Support, you can refer to this thread and 'SR 1-LF8FNT'.

What java version are you at.
Open terminal and type
java -version
I tested with
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)
on R 2010b sp1 --- R2012b (all releases in between)
on OSX 10.7.5 and on OSX 10.6.8 and the local matlabpool works fine on both.

I guess updating to JAVA 1.6.0_39 causes matlabpool to break on Matlab R2011b and older. Maltabpool works fine on R 2012a. I would hold off upgrading if one is on 2011b or older till a solutions is found.
Even on R2012a I have to run the validation of the local configuration before I can use matlabpool every time I start MATLAB.

Thomas, do you know if it's safe to install Java 1.6.0_37 after I've installed 0_39? Do I have to uninstall 0_39?

Hi all, Glad to see there's a common audience for this. The 'trick' of validating upon startup seems to work, but this is unnecessarily cumbersome. It is a downgrade, rather than an upgrade.
Mathworks people, do you have an automated work-around for this? Perhaps a way to run the validation upon startup? Even still, this is time-consuming for launching Matlab so a proper fix for this Java incompatibility would be best. Please update on when this will be happening.

I am also getting the same error on OSX 10.6.8. Java for Mac OSX 10.6 Update 12 came with:
java version "1.6.0_39"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_39-b04-442-10M4008)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.14-b01-442, mixed mode)

Thomas 2013-2-8
I have the latest version of Java and had no luck until uninstalling R2011B and updating to R2012B. At this point, I had to run a validation before the system ran correctly. FYI

The trick Danny proposed works for me too. I am using 1.6.0_41. Please notify us as soon as a fix is found!
Jason
Jason 2013-2-22
Thanks, all, for responding on this. But is there any way to have the parallel work without having to run validation manually upon startup??

I just did everything as explained above, updated toolbox cache in the preferences and tried matlabpool and got:
Error using matlabpool (line 134) Undefined function 'distcomp.fileserializer' for input arguments of type 'distcomp.filestorage'.
I cannot find this file anywhere. Any ideas?

Hi,
I am trying to work on Distributed Computing Toolbox 3.2 (R2007b) installed on OSX 10.8.3, and I think I am having a similar JVM problem:
-------------
>> matlabpool
??? Undefined function or variable 'distcomp.interactiveclient'.
Error in ==> matlabpool at 82
client = distcomp.getInteractiveObject();
>>
-------
I know a bug report is here:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/919688
but a patch for R2007b looks remaining undeveloped.
Can anyone help me?
Best wishes,
Koji

Hi Koji,
I'm afraid there's no patch available for R2007b. Your only options are to either upgrade your version of MATLAB or downgrade your version of the JVM.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for your suggestions. Do you have a recommendation for a version of JVM? My OSX currently has 1.6.0_45.
Thanks again,
Koji

Matlab 2013a generates a series of java errors when attempting to open the editor. This is what I get:
java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.reflect.UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.ensureObj(UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.java:36) at sun.reflect.UnsafeObjectFieldAccessorImpl.get(UnsafeObjectFieldAccessorImpl.java:18) at java.lang.reflect.Field.get(Field.java:358) at apple.awt.CAccessibility.getAccessibleRoleFor(CAccessibility.java:200) at apple.awt.CAccessibility$11.call(CAccessibility.java:215) at apple.awt.CAccessibility$11.call(CAccessibility.java:212) at apple.awt.CToolkit$CallableWrapper.run(CToolkit.java:1125) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:199) at apple.awt.CToolkit$CPeerEvent.dispatch(CToolkit.java:1215) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(EventQueue.java:708) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$400(EventQueue.java:82) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(EventQueue.java:669) at java.awt.EventQueue$2.run(EventQueue.java:667) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.AccessControlContext$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(AccessControlContext.java:87) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:678) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:296) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:211) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:201) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:196) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:188) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:122)
As a result, I can no longer use Matlab. I have removed matlab entirely and reinstalled it without effect. I have applied the fix mentioned above, no positive result.
Hopefully someone can help because I am dead in the water right now.
I am using java 7 update 21, OSX 10.8.3

Don't use http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/919688 for R2013a!!
Just open the cluster manager, allow it to (automatically) create a local cluster, and then run the verification tests. More info here: http://www.mathworks.com/help/distcomp/clusters-and-cluster-profiles.html
I applied the patch, and Matlab wouldn't open (Mac OS 10.8.5, java version "1.6.0_65" - java 7, update 51). Only deleting matlab and reinstalling it fixed the problem (I had no indication what the problem was).

I have R2013a, OSX 10.7.5, and cluster manager wouldn't validate. I received several errors. I followed the bug report fix you linked and resolved my problem. But I see you have a newer version of OSX. So…

Can't use matlabpool too on Mac OS 10.9.2, R2013a student version, with :
java version "1.6.0_65"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)
The trick proposed By Blake worked once but now i'm getting several errors when I try to use matlabpool or even when I just open the cluster manager. I also tried the patch but it didn't fix the problem.
Since I updated java I have many problems. For instance, I can't open matlab through the spotlight, I have to use the sudo sh command in the terminal!
Should I try to reinstall an older version of java ?
