Fine: everything you're doing is right, as far as I can tell.

With your setup, you should be able to create an object

	[mxj net.pimpdahood.mxj.max.ClassName]

and it should work.

What you're *wanting* to do is lose the package prefix from the class  
name, and as far as I know there's no way to do this: pointing into a  
class file directory is not going to work, since it'll violate the  
package heirarchy. Since MXJ doesn't have any kind of "import"  
construct, your only choices are (i) stick with the full package  
names in the MXJ objects (which is what I do: I quite like them being  
explicit and compartmentalised) or (ii) create your top-level MXJ  
objects without packages (which I think is rather a bad idea since  
it'll lead to the kind of namespace pollution currently suffered by  
the rest of the Max world). As a compromise, use a shorter package  
path for the actual MXJ wrappers.
