I am using classes and static methods to 'scope' functions in a namespace, similar to C#. However, every time I add a new method to a class, at first it is not found. I have to restart the MATLAB environment (2007a) for the new methods to be recognised.
Surely there is an 'update' or 'refresh' type command that I can use so that I do not have to restart the MATLAB environment each time I add a function?

To call a static method, prefix the method name with the class name so that MATLAB can determine what class defines the method. Call staticMethod using the syntax classname . methodname : r = MyClass.
We can invoke a static method by using its class reference. An instance method is invoked by using the object reference. 5. We can't access instance methods and instance variables with the help of Static methods in Java.
In simple words, if you use a static keyword with a variable or a method inside a class, then for every instance that you create for that class, these static members remain constant and you can't change or modify them.
A static constructor cannot be called directly and is only meant to be called by the common language runtime (CLR). It is invoked automatically. The user has no control on when the static constructor is executed in the program. A static constructor is called automatically.
Issuing this call to CLEAR should do it:
clear classes
One unfortunate side effect of this is that it also effectively issues a clear all, which clears all of the variables in the workspace as well (however, this would happen anyway when you close and restart MATLAB). This clearing of the workspace actually serves a purpose, since it will remove any variables of the same type as the old version of your class, which potentially wouldn't work correctly with the new version of your class.
The function REHASH may work, but I doubt it (I think it deals more with file paths than class definitions).
