Installing and Using JSyn on a Macintosh OS X

Note that these instructions are for JSyn V144 and later. (Feedback welcome.)

Unzip the JSyn SDK archive and place the unzipped folder in your work area.
Install the "classes/jsyn.jar" and "macosx/libJSynV144.jnilib" into the "Library/Java/Extensions" folder in your user account folder. You can do that by hand or, more easily, by running the JSyn Plugin installer here. The Java and Extensions folders may need to be created.
Note that the "SoftSynthTools.jar file" contains various classes that are not part of the "jsyn.jar" plugin. If you post a JSyn Applet then SoftSynthTools.jar would be an Applet ARCHIVE that lives on your server.

I strongly recommend using Eclipse. It is a great Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Mac, Windows and Linux.
