Is it possible to include mxj's within a pluggo?

I get no errors when building my plug (either with or without specifying my class file specifically in the collective builder), but I'm getting "class not found" errors in my plug's Message window when I try to use it in a VST host app.

mxj-and-pluggos

i've done some pluggos with mxj, but I can only make than work if the classes is both included & in the plugge support folder ?

if I don't include, the AU-Pluggoscan will crash.

if the files is not in the pluggo's searchpath, it wont work ?

Thanks, that did it - I copied my .class file in /Library/Application 

Support/C74 Plug-In Support/Pluggo Support/ , or even a subfolder of

The default pluggo lookup path is now /Library/Application Support/ 

make sure your mxj claasses are in /Library/Application Support/C74 

Any plugin installation should place any needed non-standard classes 

in this folder, or perhaps in plug-named folder under this?

Thanks Charlie - yes, I got it to work by putting my classes in 

/Library/Application Support/C74 Plug-In Support/Pluggo Support/ , or 

Didn't need to do the "/Java/classes/" stuff either.

One thing to keep in mind with all of this. When you host a plug-in 

in a non-Max environment, the C74 Plug-in Support folder acts as the 

C74 folder and everything in it can be found. When you host a plug- 

in in Max, then Max uses it's own C74 folder - and most things in the 

C74 Plug-in Support folder will not be found (including stuff in the 

Dan's approach is probably the best practice because the Pluggo 

Support folder (and subfolders thereof) in C74 Plug-in Support get 

added to Max's searchpaths automatically when you load a Pluggo-based
