Add a Menu Tool icon via a jar file

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,
I figured out how to create a Menu Tool with an icon to launch a couple plugins by adding the needed code within the Macros/StartupMacros.ijm file.
But I would rather like to encapsulate this icon addition within a jar file.
Can this be done and how ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your lighting on this.
My best regards,
Philippe

Philippe,

In case you want to do this with Java, here is an example Java helper method that uses MacroInstaller to install a tool with an icon from within a plugin:

    public static void addToolbarActionTool(String name, String icon) {
        // Puts this function on the ImageJ toolbar if it isn't already
        if (Toolbar.getInstance().getToolId(name)!=-1) return; // already on toolbar
        MacroInstaller mi = new MacroInstaller();
        mi.installSingleTool(
            "macro \"" + name + " Action Tool - " + icon + "\" { run(\"" + name + "\"); }"
            );
    }
