I don't know any other method. You can disable usage of Java completely
by appending "-nojvm" to the Matlab command switches (M-x
customize-variable RET matlab-shell-command-switches RET), but then you
also won't be able to use anything else that requires Java.

It works better with recent Matlab versions, for example.
