I fear you'll have to do it yourself, but I cannot help but think that the
<unjar> should solve your problem. You'll just have to unjar the
Matlab-generated .jar into your own .jar together with the plugin classes.

Of course, after that you will most likely run into environment variable
issues with native libraries, but a custom start script should help that.

Oh, but people have managed to write plugins in Netbeans!!!

What you try to do is a _very_ special case, though: you want to include
Matlab-generated .jar files (which as far as I know still require a native
component, so they are platform dependent).

A quick workaround could be to copy the Matlab generated file into the
plugins/ folder together with the .jar you generated with Netbeans.

Hth,
