ImageJ does not add new plugins to the menu
 
|
Hi,
I am working on a new project where I need to create a plugin for ImageJ using NetBeans. My problem is that ImageJ does not see my test plugins in its menu. I've made a general reinstalation of NetBeans, JDK, JRE and ImageJ itself. Then I created a new plugin using the guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac-6gJ2eRb0 . This one worked perfectly, but I wanted the plugin to be in the menu so I've put the .java, .class, .Jar files in the plugins folder, made sure that there is an "_" underscore in the .class file and run ImageJ. Unfortunately with no effect. Then I tried using the "Compile and Run" and "Install" options - still no result. I've also searched this forum but for now didn't find any working solution. If anybody has any ideas I am all ears. |

When I run "Compile and run" I get this error:

I used it and it worked fine, but as a separate project using ImageJ. I was hoping that I could add it directly to the plugins menu (in the plugins forder). Another way around is to load my images and open them in ImageWindow, but I doun't know yet how to do that.
Right now it looks like this: import ij.IJ; import ij.ImagePlus; import ij.io.Opener; import ij.plugin.PlugIn; import ij.process.ImageProcessor; import ij.gui.ImageWindow; public class Cephalometric_analysis implements PlugIn{ @Override public void run(String args){ IJ.showMessage("This is a test"); Opener opener = new Opener(); String imageFilePath = "C:/Users/Admin/Documents/Notatki/Meh/Obrazy/"; ImagePlus imp = opener.openImage(imageFilePath); ImageProcessor ip = imp.getProcessor(); ImageWindow(ImagePlus imp); ImageWindow iw = new ImageWindow(imp); iw.setImage(imp); } public static void main(final String... args){ new ij.ImageJ(); new Cephalometric_analysis().run(""); } } |

I agree that the example is too complicated. However, I think there is a middle ground here -- we want to provide a hackable template from which real-world plugins can be easily created. E.g.: it should show how to use GenericDialog, which most plugins will need. As always, pull requests improving the example are most welcome. Paul wrote: > I was hoping that I could add it directly to the plugins menu (in the > plugins forder). Certainly you should be able to do that, by building the JAR file and dropping it into your ImageJ plugins folder. The plugins.config file in src/main/resources defines which plugins appear where in the menus. The example-legacy-plugin uses a hack in the main method [4] to set the plugins directory to match the IDE's runtime classpath. By doing this, the plugin will appear in the Plugins menu without needing to refresh the menus.

Hi Paul,
sorry, I cannot reproduce the problem. I tried your plugin with 'Compile&Run' in plain ImageJ 1.51m. I had to remove the line "ImageWindow(ImagePlus imp);", which does nothing and caused an error during compilation. Then the plugin appears in the Plugins menu after Help>Refresh Menus and also after restarting ImageJ. Maybe you have overlooked the error message of the compiler? If it can't be compiled, it can't appear in the plugins menu.

After making some little changes to my code and using the hack explained by Curtis above I finally managed to make it work. I also tried to do it the way Michael explained, but I've got the same error as before. Maybe it's because I'm running ImageJ 1.51g or perhaps something didn't inistall properly. Thank you all for help. Regards, Paul |

The example can be further simplified, and it can avoid the non-working "Compile and Run” command in Fiji, by converting it into JavaScript. Save the following two line JavaScript version in the plugins folder, or sub-folder, as “Cephalometric_Analysis.js" and it will be added to the Plugins menu, or sub-menu, after you use the Help>Refresh Menus command or restart ImageJ. imp = IJ.openImage(“”); imp.show(); JavaScript is now a compiled language so it runs up to 30 times faster than the ImageJ macro language.

Using Javascript as an alternative to a plug-in is an interesting approach;
I wonder whether or not it is possible to control what menu the script appears in, in the same way as plugins.config does ? Can we have a javascript inside a jar?

Hi again Stein,
Just to clarify my last post: the installation of scripts into the menu structure, both inside and outside of JAR files, is a feature of ImageJ2 [1]. I mention this specifically because I noticed from a different thread that you are using ImageJ 1.x.

Re: ImageJ does not add new plugins to the menu

In reply to this post by ctrueden
Yes this is what I want but as you already realized, I am using vanilla ImageJ instead of Fiji.
The main reason for doing that is load time; I am using ImageJ as my primary tool for viewing and exporting micro-CT data and vanilla ImageJ loads in just a fraction of a second while Fiji takes a couple of minutes to launch. I have written some context sensitive right-click scripts in Windows that loads my data as a virtual stack in ImageJ 1.5x; this way I can open and browse a 4000^3 voxel dataset easily in a matter of seconds to locate the data of interest for further processing. Loading the same dataset in the dedicated software supplied with the micro-CT takes half an hour since it is all loaded into memory. Since CT time is limited due to high demand, my data throughput in a day with an instrument booking would be many hundreds of gigabytes, so every extra second or minute spent in the workflow matters. Another drawback with Fiji which makes it unusable in my workflow is that when doing inevitably lengthy operations like exporting my very big stacks to AVI (for easy sharing with customers) which I have also automated by right-click scripts; the Fiji UI does not appear until _after_ the script has finished. The export might take half an hour or so, which really demands a progress bar or some other visual clue that the process is running.
