Hi, I have compiled the following class (for a complex number):

    public Complex(float f1, float f2){

Suppose I want to create an instance of this class in an mxj object. The Complex class has been placed in the java/classes/ folder. 

public class testsender extends MaxObject 

Complex my_complex = new Complex(1,2);//says no such Symbol

    private static final String[] INLET_ASSIST = new String[]{

    private static final String[] OUTLET_ASSIST = new String[]{

        declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

        declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

        setInletAssist(INLET_ASSIST);

        setOutletAssist(OUTLET_ASSIST);

// Complex my_complex = new Complex(4, 5);

Is there any reason that the testsender will not compile?

private float real = 0f;
private float imag = 0f;

	public Complex(float f1, float f2){
	real = f1;
	imag = f2;

public float getReal(Complex a){
return a.real;
}

public float getImag(Complex a){
return a.imag;
}

Suppose I want to create an instance of this class in an mxj object. The Complex class has been placed in the java/classes/ folder. 
How do I go about that?
I have tried:

public class testsender extends MaxObject 
{

	private static final String[] INLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
		"inlet 1 help"
	};
	private static final String[] OUTLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
		"outlet 1 help"
	};

	public testsender(Atom[] args)
	{
		declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});
		declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

		setInletAssist(INLET_ASSIST);
		setOutletAssist(OUTLET_ASSIST);

//and tried here too:
// Complex my_complex = new Complex(4, 5);

Is there any reason that the testsender will not compile?
It says no such symbol : Complex

I'm answering my own question here (although not without hours spent on this!)

javac -classpath "/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/max.jar" testsender.java

but clearly it also needs to see the class Complex, which is located in java/classes/, so even though that's the directory we're in, specifying

javac -classpath "/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/max.jar:/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/classes/" testsender.java

javac -classpath "/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/max.jar" testsender.java 

javac -classpath "/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/lib/max.jar:/Applications/maxmsp 4.6/Cycling '74/java/classes/" testsender.java
