InterruptDemo

This class demonstrates a portable way for Java code to remain responsive to asynchronous signals (such as Ctrl-C) when called from the Matlab command line or a Matlab script. There is no build-time dependency on the Matlab JMI jar which should allow it to build (ex: on CI servers) without a Matlab installation. The Matlab JMI jar is naturally required at run time.

Tested with Matlab version 9.0.0.341360 (R2016a).

Building

$ javac InterruptDemo.java
$ jar -cfe interrupt_demo.jar InterruptDemo InterruptDemo.class

Running (native)

$ java -jar interrupt_demo.jar
