I'm running Mac OS 10.12 with Java 8 update 111 installed, yet the [mxj] is grayed out. What could the problem be??

Figured it out! The problem was actually the version of Java I had downloaded. To get the proper version of Java, go to this link:

https://cycling74.com/wiki/index.php?title=Java_on_OS_X_10.9_(and_later)

Here, you'll find a link to download the Legacy Apple Java 6 for OS X. That's the version that you should be using for the [mxj] object to work.

Max 7.3 and greater is compatible with Java 8 on Max OS in 64 bit Max. There is no requirement to download legacy Java in 64 bit, only in 32 bit, as there is no 32 bit Java 8

Perhaps I was running 32-bit at the time...? That certainly could have been the issue. I just double-checked and see that I'm currently running 64-bit, so I must have changed it at some point. Everything seems to be working great for me now. Thanks Andrew!
