I have just started out using M4L and mxj and I have written my first java "Hello world "externals;) I am familiar with the Java programming language but I am still trying to get my head around the possibilities in M4L – e.g is it possible to start/stop a clip in Ableton from a Java external?

Hi KMLL,
the Live Api is not accessible via Java, only through JavsScript.
cheers j

Hi – Thank you for the reply! Javascript would be a good route to go / alternative since I have also developed quite a bit with that in the past. Do you happen to know of any good resources describing accessing ableton objects from js?

Thanks Jan

Thank you Christopher and Jan for the info and links. I really look forward to exploring javascript in max to access live objects:)
