Magma and Classes

[Chris Muller]

Hi Mirko, the MagmaRepositoryCodeBase is an object which lets you
store your own code into the repository.  If you are compiling classes
dynamically you might want to do something like:

  myMagmaSession commit:
    [ myMagmaSession codeBase fileOutClass: MyDynamicClass ]

To load the class later or by other clients:

  myMagmaSession fileInClassNamed: #MyDynamicClass

Hope this helps.

 - Chris
