Description

Environment:
Windows 10
Julia 1.6.2
MATLAB 2022a academic

I have been unable to run any code in julia that uses matlab successfully. Running the following code will open the matlab command window if it is not already but does nothing else. Furthermore, the print at the end does not show in the terminal or in matlab.

using MATLAB

mat"1+1"

println("done")

I tried running matlab -batch "comserver('register')" since I am on Windows but this results in a long error (I can include if needed) that always starts with com.mathworks.util.ShutdownRuntimeException: Java is shutting down. Really not sure what is going wrong or what I can do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Research direction

Reproduce the example using MATLAB.jl on Windows 10 with Julia 1.6.2 and MATLAB 2022a. Start with the mat"1+1" call and the matlab -batch "comserver('register')" command, including the reported Java shutdown error. Done means the MATLAB expression runs and println("done") appears in the terminal or MATLAB.
