Problem opening QuickTime Player in ImageJ

[Bill Mohler]

Hi All-

I just posted in response to messages concerning the new macro-addressable
QuickTime Movie Player plugin.  But I think I should give more info on a
problem I'm having that seems to be unrelated to which version of the
QuickTime_Plugins.jar I use.

I just upgraded to ImageJ 1.38x with Java 1.6.0_02, I have QTJava.zip
(from QuickTime 7.2) in the ImageJ folder and the Plugins folder and the
jre folder and the bin subfolder of the jre folder (overkill, likely, but
I'm trying to find where it should be).

When I try to run the File> Import > QuickTime Player... menu command, I
get the following error.  Am I missing something obvious about why the
QTJava is not being found?  Or is there something wrong with QT7.2?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Bill

Yes!  Putting the new QTJava.zip in the Image/jre/lib/ext directory
solved the problem.

Would it be possible to edit the text on the plugin
download/description page
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/movie-player.html to describe this
better location for the zip file.  It currently suggests the plugin
directory.

Many thanks, Wayne.
