in max 4.5 i could build mxj-externals and just put them in the same folder as the patch that is using them and they would load fine (even if the folder is not within the search-path).

i just built a mxj-external for 4.6.1 and wanted to load it, but it (the .class) has to be in the java/classes otherwise i always get the "can't find class xyz" error.

strangely enough my "old" externals will still load fine if within the same folder. very odd.

this is maybe not a max/msp problem but maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can enlighten me.

- all mxj were built with a simple text-editor(TextWrangler) and javac in terminal

hi everybody,
in max 4.5 i could build mxj-externals and just put them in the same folder as the patch that is using them and they would load fine (even if the folder is not within the search-path).

- mac os x 10.4.7
- java 1.5.0_06
- max/msp/jitter 4.6.1

cant-find-class-but-in-same-folder

I can't reproduce your behaviour. Could you please assemble and

archive an example for me with the proper directory structure, patches

I can't reproduce your behaviour.  Could you please assemble and
archive an example for me with the proper directory structure, patches
and classes?
