mxj: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment and mxj_platform_init failed

To clarify what the notepad files say:

Max 5 max.java.config reads:

; This is the config used by Max when instantiating the JVM ;
; Comments are enclosed within 2 semicolons ;

; The file format is relatively fragile so pay attention ;
; when editing this file !! ;

; some example options one may use ;

; add all jars in /Users/topher/java/lib to the system classpath i.e. immutable classpath ;
; max.system.jar.dir /Users/topher/java/lib;

; add /Users/topher/foo to the system classpath i.e. immutable classpath ;
; max.system.class.dir /Users/topher/foo ;

; these next 2 are typically what you would want to use if you want additional directories ;
; added to your classpath for max ;

; add /Users/topher/myclasses to the dynamic classpath of MXJClassLoader ;
; max.dynamic.class.dir /Users/topher/myclasses ;

; add all jars in /Users/topher/myjars to the dynamic classpath of MXJClassLoader ;
;max.dynamic.jar.dir /Users/topher/myjars ;

; specify some jvm options ;
max.jvm.option -Xincgc
max.jvm.option -Xms64m
max.jvm.option -Xmx256m

; uncomment these options(i.e. remove surrounding semi colons ;
; to cause the JVM to be created ;
; in debug mode and listening for remote debugger connections ;
; on port 8074. This would enable you to interactively debug ;
; your mxj code using JDB or some other debugger which supports ;
; the JDI wire protocol ;

; max.jvm.option -Xnoagent ;
; max.jvm.option -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket\,address=8074\,server=y\,suspend=n ;
