"Undefined Variable in line 51: <import> ij . ij"

[fa11enspectre]

I have created a modification for ImageJ's included Volume_Viewer plugin, and attempt to run it as a .ijm. When I do this, ImageJ throws the aforementioned error. What does this mean, and how can I fix this? Should I try exporting it as a .jar instead? If so, how do I do this? (I use Eclipse.)

Thanks in advance.

The volume viewer plugin is written in Java and must be compiled prior to
running. The .ijm extension is reserved for macros written in the ImageJ
macro language, which is interpreted and has a completely different
syntax.

You might want to read the plugin writing tutorial by Werner Bailer, it is
rather excellent:

There are also some tutorials out there how to configure Eclipse to
compile and run plugins. Please look at

for more details.
