Including packages

[Frederic V. Hessman]

I want to put lots of semi-generic classes into an "astroj" package  
to be able to use them in other contexts than the standard Astronomy  
plugins (http://www.astro.physik.uni-goettingen.de/~hessman/ImageJ/ 
Astronomy/), so I stuck "package astroj;" in those routines, put them  
in their own directory, and put "include astroj.*;" in the plugins.    
After creating astroj.jar, I tried putting it in various places, but  
can't seem to get it to be acknowledged by default.

Of course, I can stick it in a standard place for general purpose  
jars, but other plugins seem to get away with simply being in the  
ImageJ plugins directory.  Do I need a special manifest, or what?

you need a plugins.config file in the jar:

A JAR file that contains only library classes does not need a
plugins.config file and does not need an underscore in its name. A JAR
file that contains a single plugin also does not need a plugins.config
file but it does need an underscore in its name. A library JAR file
does need to have a directory structure that mirrors the package
structure of its classes.
