calling java class from external jar

Hello, I have linked an external jar file and after imported a class, I am trying to call some methods belonging to it.

By using methodsview I see the different methods that I can use but some of them look quite strange and I am not able to access. In particular, from methosview I see that the enumerartors belonging to the class are defined using the symbol $

classname$enumtype

and I cant understand how I can access to them.

Any clue?

thanks Paolo

Here's one way to access Java enumerators:

msgType = javaMethod('valueOf','java.awt.TrayIcon$MessageType','INFO');

or:

enums = cell(javaMethod('values','java.awt.TrayIcon$MessageType'));
msgType = enums{3};  % 3=INFO

More on this in Section 1.7 of my Matlab-Java programming book.
