mxj, where to store associated files (ie .xml) in relation to the bin directory?
Jan 24 2011 | 12:17 pm
Hey,
I am attempting to make an mxj object that requires access to a .xml file as a configuration / initialization thing.
I am building the object in Eclipse, and obviously having the .xml in the same structure as the eclipse project enables the compiler to see the file fairly easily.
It is when I move to Max - point the max.dynamic.class.dir class path to my bin directory - that Max can't see my associated .xml file.
I'm getting a java.io.FileNotFoundException: configxmly.xml (No such file or directory)
I tried putting the file in the bin directory itself, in the parent folder, and even in the Java section of the Cycling 74 file path.
Anyhelp, is really appreciated, thanks a lot
