Integrating compiled MATLAB functions into a Java application requires you to use a combination of APIs. MATLAB Compiler SDK™ uses APIs to initialize the MATLAB Runtime, load the compiled MATLAB functions into the MATLAB Runtime, and manage data that is passed between the Java code and the MATLAB Runtime. The compiler generates some of the APIs based on the signatures of the compiled functions. MATLAB Runtime provides other APIs that are consistent for all applications.

The Java APIs facilitate the development of distributed applications with features for deploying active figures over the web and hooks for using RMI.
