[Jsynthlib-devel] Problem with DeviceListWriter

[Packe <pa...@ya...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to write a driver for my Roland D50. I have added the files and wanted to generate the synthdrivers.properties file. 

Unfortunately the DeviceListDriver application fails. It creates an empty file only containing the two first lines of comments in the properties file.

I have added debug prints which gives me this:

In dir .:
  Checking synthdrivers/AccessVirus
  Checking synthdrivers/AlesisA6
  Checking synthdrivers/AlesisDM5
  Checking synthdrivers/AlesisDMPro
  Checking synthdrivers/AlesisQS
  Checking synthdrivers/BehringerFCB1010
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: AccessVirusDevice
	at core.DeviceListWriter$MyClassLoader.loadClass(DeviceListWriter.java:336)
	at core.DeviceListWriter.addClasses(DeviceListWriter.java:72)
	at core.DeviceListWriter.main(DeviceListWriter.java:389)
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: AlesisA6Device

When I look at the code I get a bit suspicious about this part:

String devName = synthDevices[j].substring(0, synthDevices[j].indexOf('.'));
try {
    if(verbose)
        System.out.println("  Checking " + actSynthDir.getPath());
	        	    	
   Class deviceclass = loader.loadClass(devName, true);

The exception occurs on the last line of this snippet. From the substring line I guess only the class name is used as argument for the class loader. This should not work according to the API.

Is it just me who runs into this problem?
