MATLAB on Mac OS X

Since the release of MATLAB 7, I have had problems with it running on Mac OS X.
The java interface in the original release crashes every 5 minutes or so, which makes it almost impossible to work. The 7.0.1 update fixed most of the problems, but still vulnerable in some occasions (mainly graphics related). Even the latest 7.0.4 update offers little improvement in that aspect.
The crashing problem I assume is mainly due to the vulnerability of the java engine on Mac OS X. I’d highly recommend users to run MATLAB without the java virtual machine.
