[java-dev] dynamically loading java classes in a standalone

I don't really understand what you mean by saying that your entire  
jar is being loaded at startup. If you have any mxj instances in your  
standalone patch they should only load the classes that they have  
dependencies on. I am not aware of a way to get the JVM to force load  
a bunch of arbitrary classes.It loads any class when it needs it with  
the exception of the bootstrap classes.

Regardless. I am not totally sure but if you include  
max.java.config.txt it is possible that mxj will find it. You might  
want to mess around with this.
In the case that it does find it you will need to mess around with  
paths for the max.dynamic.jar.dir, max.dynamic.class.dir etc since  
they will need to be
relative and I am not sure what they would be relative to.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
