There used to be a small example on the previous orekit wiki but cannot find that page now. I do not have a matlab license anymore but this below is the example that at some point was on the wiki. At least is shows how the library is interfaced.

I don’t know why this example has not been migrated with the others. I temporarily disabled the redirection in Apache server to allow access to the wiki of our old forge. The example you are looking for is here:
I still have a problem to run this script, the command window return me :
Undefined variable “org” or class “org.orekit.data.DataProvidersManager.getInstance”.
Error in PropagationDistribution (line 19)
DM=org.orekit.data.DataProvidersManager.getInstance()
What version of Orekit do you use ? To my mind, your problem is that you don’t use a correct version of Java on your Matlab interface.
You shall use, at least, Java 8 to run correctly Orekit on your Matlab interface (if your version of Orekit is greater than 8.0).
To check your version of Java, on your Matlab terminal write : version -java
In the case of your Java version is lower than 8, download the correct jdk version and follow the recommendations on the Mathworks website depending if you are using Linux or Windows.
I am using Orekit 10.1 with Matlab R2018b and R2020a on both Linux and Windows without issues.
Here is my Java version:
'Java 1.8.0_202-b08 with Oracle Corporation Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode'
Did you add all Hipparchus dependencies to the Java class path too?
To load Orekit+Rugged+all Hipparchus dependencies, regardless of the version, this is what my startup.m script looks like:
orekit_path = <MY PATH TO THE OREKIT&HIPPARCHUS FOLDER>;
addpath(genpath(orekit_path));
javaaddpath( orekit_path );
hipparchusModules = {'clustering', 'core', 'fft', 'filtering', 'fitting',...
'geometry', 'migration', 'ode', 'optim', 'samples', 'stat'};
% Looking for Hipparchus JARs, independently of the version
for i = 1:length(hipparchusModules)
hipparchusJarName = dir(fullfile( orekit_path, strcat('hipparchus-', ...
hipparchusModules{i}, '-*.jar')));
javaaddpath( fullfile(orekit_path, hipparchusJarName.name ));
end
% Looking for Orekit JAR, independently of the version
orekitJarName = dir(fullfile( orekit_path, 'orekit-*.jar'));
javaaddpath( fullfile(orekit_path, orekitJarName.name ));
% Looking for Rugged JAR, independently of the version
ruggedJarName = dir(fullfile( orekit_path, 'rugged-*.jar'));
javaaddpath( fullfile(orekit_path, ruggedJarName.name ));
clear orekit_path hipparchusModules hipparchusJarName i orekitJarName ruggedJarName;
The javaclasspath command then gives the following results:

Hi, I have added the jar of orekit 11.2 to matlab R2021a’s java path, as well as the hipparchus kit.
However, there isn’t “getInstance()” and “crawler=org.orekit.data.ZipJarCrawler(‘orekit-data-master.zip’)” didn’t work as intended. By the way, the file named orekit-data-master.zip is in the current dir.
Note that the Jython part of this page is wrong for the same reason… But I don’t know if the Jython integration is still necessary since there is the Python wrapper.
The second question is done too, with the assistance in Can't get Orekit to work in Matlab. What I improved in my code was to import some basic java file.
