ImageJ Plugins for Signed jar

Hanumanth
Hi,
 
I am using ImageJ in Java Web Application (TOMCAT) as a signed jar, for this how to add external jar files as plugins.
 
when i am invoking as an applet for preloading images, for some images it is showing cannot open compressed DICOM images, for this i have downloaded loci-tools.jar.

Hi Hanumanth,

Here is Wayne's answer from a while back regarding adding custom
plugins to an applet:

Regarding Bio-Formats specifically, you may run into trouble trying to
read lossless JPEG compressed DICOM in an applet, because Bio-Formats
relies on the JAI Image I/O Tools native library being installed, and
AFAIK there is no easy way to bundle it in an applet (and it is
platform dependent anyway). You would need each user to install the
library manually, and even then I am uncertain whether it would be
accessible from within an applet. But other forms of compressed DICOM
should work OK.

Hi Hanumanth,

See this message in the archives:
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0806&L=IMAGEJ&P=R18536&I=-3

Also, I believe you do not want to nest JAR files -- rather, you
should extract the contents of all the JARs you wish to combine into a
common directory structure, then create one combined JAR file
containing all the files. In the case of plugins, I believe they
should be extracted beneath the plugins subfolder. But please be aware
that I do not have much experience using ImageJ as an applet and could
be wrong.
