There are cleaner and "official" workarounds. Check this thread:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/159003-why-am-i-unable-to-install-or-start-matlab-on-os-x-10-10-yosemite

I just installed Yosemite (10.10) on my MBP17early2011 and got R2012a
working with the help of above thread. Note that it might also look for
Java 6 which you can download from here:

Good luck!
