In Laravel 4, in app/config/app.php, I find the following line under providers:

'Illuminate\Workbench\WorkbenchServiceProvider',

And that service provider works because I verify the register() method is called. I wondered how this maps out namespace-wise. It appears at least in part that the namespace Illuminate is declared here in /vendor/composer/autoload_namespaces.php:

'Illuminate' => array($vendorDir . '/laravel/framework/src'),

I have created a folder in /vendor called

/vendor/mycompany

And then create a class file called MyClass.php as follows

<?php namespace MyCompany;

#MyClass.php
class MyClass{
    ..etc..
}

I then add the same line in /vendor/composer/autoload_namespaces.php:

'MyCompany' => array($vendorDir . '/mycompany'),

And call the following in routes.php:

$test = new MyCompany\MyClass;      //line 15
print_r(class_get_methods($test));  //line 16

BUT, I get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'MyCompany\MyClass' not found in .. line 15

How do I solve this and get the namespace MyCompany registered and recognized?
