startup_rtb.m

%STARTUP_RTB Initialize MATLAB paths for Robotics Toolbox
%
% Adds demos, data, contributed code and examples to the MATLAB path, and adds also to 
% Java class path.
%
% Notes::
% - This sets the paths for the current session only.
% - To make the settings persistent across sessions you can:
%   - Add this script to your MATLAB startup.m script.
%   - After running this script run PATHTOOL and save the path.
%
% See also PATH, ADDPATH, PATHTOOL, JAVAADDPATH.
