Well, I found “an answer.” Somewhere before I saw a post about the difference in MATLAB’s “dynamic” and “static” cp’s. The “static” cp is a text file that is loaded at startup. The “dynamic” cp is loaded at runtime and you typically manipulate it with m-script calls. That’s what I was trying to do.
So I added my jars to the dynamic path and it didn’t work.
I added them to the end of the static path and got DIFFERENT errors, which seemed to pertain to the XML parsing. Progress!
Then I added my jars to the BEGINNING of the static path and it works.
To quote Bart Simpson: Craptackular.
Thanks for all your ideas. Ask me a C# question so I can reciprocate…
