 This tutorial will guide the reader through the steps needed to generate the artifacts necessary for Matlab to import and use custom-defined ROS messages (e.g. defined within packages in a catkin workspace).
+**Note**: Instructions on this page apply for Matlab R2017b through Matlab R2020a. For R2020b onward, the ''rosgenmsg'' command and custom message support have been incorporated into ROS Toolbox; use [[https://www.mathworks.com/help/ros/ug/create-custom-messages-from-ros-package.html | these]] instructions instead.

 If re-compiling and no NEW message types have been created (i.e. no new .jar files need to be added to ''javaclasspath.txt''), you may restore the back-up from Step **#1**.
