Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.6"

I've seen this question asked multiple times but I've yet to see an answer that makes any sense to me. When I run 'ver' at the Matlab command prompt I get:

Operating System: Unable to find any JVMs matching version "1.6". java version "1.8.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode) java version "1.8.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode) java version "1.8.0_31" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_31-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.31-b07, mixed mode) Mac OS X Version: 10.14.6 Build: 18G87

Java Version: Java 1.8.0_181-b13 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode

and

>> version -java

ans =

'Java 1.8.0_181-b13 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode'

My Mac as Java 1.8.0_181-b13 installed. What is not configured correctly?

My setup is:

Matlab R2019a

MacOS Mojave

Hi John,

On macOS, MATLAB R2013b and later use a JVM which is bundled with MATLAB. Some components might not work properly under a different version of the JVM software. Hence, you may have to change the JVM that MATLAB is using.

Refer to the following MATLAB Answers link:
