I'm wondering how it's possible to add externals and mxj's without breaking the max.app on OSX?

There is an app that seems to be able to do this, but the documentation isnt very good regarding how to use it for installing specific files into an already existing app

no, you absolutely don't want to do this.

use the packages system or the specific folders designed for this in the max 7 distro.

search this forum for plenty of info, or the max documentation.

I cant seem to find much info on the specific folders for use with packages. There is a packages folder inside /Users/[username]/Documents/Max 7/Packages . Tried adding the mxj files to this folder, but no luck. Also tried using the max.java.config.txt to initiate class and jar folders, but also dont seem to work. Been searching the forum for hours, but can't seem to find any solid info on installing externals in Max 7, specifically installing MXJs

The suggested documentation here doesnt work

When adding MXJ jar files to the packages folders, using the lib folder, no MXJs are found....

not sure about mxj etc, i never use java, but i know that it was a pain initially but recent max 7 updates should have fixed it. i can see you had success by your other thread. for anything else, always use packages.
