Hey,

I am relatively inexperienced Java person, I usually work with Processing and avoid Eclipse, but I have created a few max externals previously. I haven't, however, created any mxj objects that use external libraries.

I thought I followed the process correctly. I believe I have imported the libraries correctly into my java project in eclipse (toxi libs). I am not getting any errors, put it that way, but when I try and run the object in max I get this error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: toxi/physics2d/behaviors/ParticleBehavior2D

I believe this is a class path thing? Perhaps max doesn't know where to find the verletphysics.jar ?

My class is below. Essentially I am wanting to use toxi physics to augment imput - at the present it is obviously not doing that - I was just testing the concept , which didn't work!! The class is based on Toxi's example.

Any help much appreciated.

import com.cycling74.max.*;

import toxi.geom.*; import toxi.physics2d.*; import toxi.physics2d.behaviors.*;

public class toxiPart extends MaxObject {

int NUM_PARTICLES = 1;

VerletPhysics2D physics; AttractionBehavior mouseAttractor; Vec2D mousePos;

public toxiPart(){

physics = new VerletPhysics2D(); physics.setDrag(0.05f); physics.setWorldBounds(new Rect(0, 0, 200, 200));

//set attractor mousePos = new Vec2D(100, 100); // create a new positive attraction force field around the mouse position (radius=250px) mouseAttractor = new AttractionBehavior(mousePos, 1000, 0.9f); physics.addBehavior(mouseAttractor);

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

}

void addParticle() { VerletParticle2D p = new VerletParticle2D(Vec2D.randomVector().scale(5).addSelf(200 / 2, 0)); physics.addParticle(p); // add a negative attraction force field around the new particle //physics.addBehavior(new AttractionBehavior(p, 20, -1.2f, 0.01f)); }

public void bang(){

if (physics.particles.size() < NUM_PARTICLES) { addParticle(); }

mousePos.set((float)Math.random()*200, (float)Math.random()*200); physics.update();

for (VerletParticle2D p : physics.particles) { outlet(0,p.x); outlet(1,p.y); }

}

}
