Now if you just happen to point it at the Max java classes directory, it will not immediately be aware that there are files there. But if you happen to run the "Refresh" command at some point, it will notice the files and delete them the next time you clean. Then mxj is hosed and you have to reinstall Max.

agreed. i rescind my previous naive eclipse advice!

use ant to move classes to the proper place or modify max.java.config.txt
