As an aside... I'm trying to remember whether there's a "locatefile"  
message one can send to Max without resorting to an API. If so, it's  
probably worth checking whether this works properly. There may also  
be a call from JavaScript - it's a while since I looked.

Or you could install my Python or Groovy stuff and try the call from  
there - this is still a call into Java via MXJ but it takes any local  
Eclipse machinery out of the picture. But that's possibly just making  
the debugging process more complicated.

One thought would be that the JNI machinery is broken somehow, but if  
you have any MXJ stuff running at all then it must be reasonably  
sound...
