Hello,
when using the DPARSFA toolbox (2.1; (Matlab 2012b / Mac OSx 10.8.2)) to run a FC Analysis, the following error occurs: 
 ??? Java exception occurred:

Hi,

Seems something changed for parallel computing in MATLAB 2012b? Or a java related issue with your computer?

I am sorry that I don't have MATLAB 2012b to test the program yet. Seems they changed a lot in MATLAB 2012b. :(

Best,

Chao-Gan

 Hi,

indeed - it was related to a java update.

Fortunately, mathworks provides a bugreport for this.

Here is the link if anybody faces the same problem:
http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/65093-os-x-java-update-causes-matlab-parallel-computing-toolbox-to-break .

With that it works fine again!
