Where do i add javascript and java classes in max 7 ?

Spa's icon

Should I put them in:
~/Users//Documents/Max 7/Library on osX (/Users//My Documents/Max 7/Library on Windows
and create a subfolder named 'java' or 'javascript'

or in Packages like recommends in this post:

or somewhere else and reference the path in File Preferences

my personal preferences are packages for "global" stuff that i re-use in different projects. this makes it easy to maintain and to share across computers. i created one package for all the re-usable code that i wrote over time. all 3rd party externals have their own pakage.
For all the rest i use projects.

Hi Jan,
i moved them to library but perhaps your right, packages is a better place.
I kind of thought it was for externals only.

He visto que estas en Hangar. Tenia un buen amigo que lo llevaba, Pedro.

well seems packages is not the right place if you want to loose your work on next update...
