Description
With R2025a, MATLAB completed a [transition to Javascript-based graphics rendering](https://blogs.mathworks.com/graphics-and-apps/2025/06/10/introducing-the-new-graphics-and-app-building-system-in-matlab-r2025a/) and no longer ships a Java installation.
This Issue is to suggest your team assess running ImageJ-MATLAB using MATLAB R2025b or later (R2025b was a quality-focused release, and is recommended over R2025a) and then update the ImageJ-MATLAB [installation instructions](https://imagej.net/scripting/matlab) accordingly.
I am not an expert on Java configurations, but it may be as simple as following your earlier instructions prior to R2017b, since that involved a switch to a separately installed Java. Should any questions/complications arise, you could reach me offline or post them here, and I can aim to pull in more expert technical guidance.

Research direction
Start by testing ImageJ-MATLAB with MATLAB R2025b or later, then compare the Java setup with the earlier pre-R2017b instructions. Review the installation instructions at imagej.net/scripting/matlab and update them to reflect the working configuration and any complications found.
