max.java.config.txt dynamic class dir entries
Hi maxmsp
I read Nick Rothwell’s post at http://www.cycling74.com/story/2006/2/6/95056/36615 on configuring Eclipse IDE for MXJ. It says I have to add Java IDE output directories as max.dynamic.class.dir entries in …/Cycling ‘74/java/max.java.config.txt for auto-loading. But what is meant by output directory? I use NetBeans 6.1, but I do some projects in Eclipse, so I’d like to know where to look in both cases.
best regards Todd
The max.dynamic.class.dir entries need to be where the mxj object can find your .class files wherever Eclipse is configure to put them. The convention in the Max/MSP java folder is to have .class and .java files in the same directory (I think Nick prefers to keep sources and binaries separate).
If I have an eclipse workspace in my home folder:
martinhome
eclipseworkspace
mxjproject
a.java
a.class
b.java
b.class
etc
…I’d put (on Mac OS X) /Users/martinhome/eclipseworkspace/mxjproject as a max.dynamic.class.dir entry
Great, everything works, thanks martinrobinson !
My class path has a folder name with a space in the middle. Max/MSP doesn’t seem to like this. Is there some syntax I can use to include this folder (like the %20 used in url names) or do I have to change it to one word?
Thanks,
Aaron
@Aaron: This is hopefully a resolved issue by now :) Anyway, (at least if using Windows) the following entry represents a valid format:
max.dynamic.class.dir "<
