Image J plugin window

[boomer2016]

Hi, I'm having trouble with a plugin for ImageJ, I want to be able to open up a new UI with menu's and buttons for functions. I have no idea how to create the new window. I've done GUI's before but when I try to run mine through ImageJ nothing happens. I'm new to developing with ImageJ.

        if(name.equals("FFT"))
        {
            //I want to call the methods in these blocks
            System.out.println("FFT clicked");
        }
        else if(name.equals("InverseFFT"))
        {
            System.out.println("InverseFFT clicked");
        }
        else if(name.equals("3d_plot"))
        {
            System.out.println("3d button clicked");
        }
        else
        {
           
        }
        //System.out.println("Button 1 clicked");
    }
 
}

This is how far I am for my UI, but it doesn't open up the new window when I run the Plugin. Could anyone please advise where I am going wrong.

Let your plugin extend ij.plugin.frame.PlugInFrame. This will construct
and show a java.awt.Frame. If you want a javax.swing.JFrame, you can
implement the ij.plugin.PlugIn interface and construct it in the run()
method. The JFrame will, however, not pop up in IJ's "Window" menu. You
have to register it at the WindowManager on your own (and de-register it
on closing); for frames extending PlugInFrame, all this and proper
numbering of more than one instance is done by the PlugInFrame superclass.

Best,
Thomas

Have the plugin implement the PlugIn interface and then ImageJ will call its run() method when it is launched. Here is an updated version of the plugin that implements PlugIn, displays messages in the “Log” window and does not cause ImageJ to exit when you close the window.
