i have a java class written in eclipse and call it with my mxj object.. it works fine.. but after i have done some modifications in my class they aren’t visible in max.. only after restarting max the changes are visible.. in the WritingMaxExternalsInJava.pdf is written: “There’s no need to quit and restart Max if you want to change one line of code in the external object you’re developing” that should be the regular behavior.. or not?? if i try to open the class with mxj quickie.. the class is decompiling.. and now thats the strange thing.. my changes are written in the code.. if i compile it again with mxj quickie the object is working with the modifications… so there is another thread in the java forum people there said that eclipse isn’t compiling well.. but in my case it is.. so class is compiled but not refreshed.. is there any caching mechanism or maybe i only have to define something in max.java.config.txt..

I remember having some issues with more than one class in a java
file. Is that you’re case?

it seems that the zap message doesn’t work in my case..

re-typing the name works good.. but a bit onerously..

thanks for help!

In fact that’s how it’s supposed to work, I thought you were doing
that already. It’s different than in JS where the autowatch makes an
auto reload process, which cannot be done for the mxj object which
load a java class on instantiation.

alright.. yes i’ve tried it before also with renaming the mxj object but i think the problem was that i had called a bail() method in my constructor.. i think that was the reason why the reinstanciation hadn’t worked…

if you send zap and then option drag on the instance the new one you
created should have the new version of the class. i forget if zap has
to be enabled via max java config.

You can do a bit of scripting to remove and reinstantiate the mxj
object which contains your code, so that you can least reload
everything from a button. (You’ll need to name the upstream and
downstream objects in order to reconnect them.)

thanks for that hint.. so i’ve tried at the moment to remove and reinstantiate the mxj.. it works fine..

now i should reconnect the mxj with the other objects.. should be no problem if i know the connections.. there are two possibilities i could code it into my reconnect mxj..

but the way i would like to prefer is that my reconnect mxj is watching which connections are existing to my reinstantiating mxj.. i would save the connections and remove the object.. the reconnection should only read the saved values, so i could use the reconnect mxj in many cases.. only the name of the object and the classname have to be defined the rest should be done with the reconnect mxj..

so is there a way to find out to which other objects in the patch at which inlets or outlets they are connected.. i didn’t found something about that in the java-doc.. so i expect that it is impossible or not?

c.

after sending the connections to my reload object i only have to send a reload message and my mxj will be reinstatntiated.. so developing mxj objects is more comfortable..

thanks for help i’ve got from you
