Matlab 32-bit on ubuntu 64-bit

I was bugged to install Matlab 32-bit on my system that had a newly installed Ubuntu 64bit Linux.
Matlab couldn't find the right JRE for the 64-bit architecture and ran only in command-prompt.

After lot of wandering on the net, i found a simple solution the the problem. I had to manually set the JAVA path for matlab. For this i used the command :
export MATLAB_JAVA='/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre'
After this i just ran the command to start matlab :
matlab -glnx86
Remmber to put it in .bashrc to get it done every time you start matlab from bash.
