Maybe this thread is dead by now, but I've used yet another solution which might work for others as well: Replacing the jre-folder and/or adding a new variable as described above didn't work for me (Matlab 7.0.1 with Win7Pro and jre6 installed). I could start Matlab without the long list of java errors, but then when using the program, e.g. plot tools, error messages still showed up. In addition, browsing to a different working directory caused the program to crash.
Inspired by a tip on a related problem (http://www.mathworks.com/ support/solutions/en/data/1-AUXDGC/index.html?product=ML&solution=1- AUXDGC), I ran already the Matlab setup.exe in Vista compatibility mode. This alone didn't work either, but setting the Matlab to run in Vista mode finally solved the problem, so now I can use Matlab with Aero still enabled, without java error messages.
