WHY "The JVM does not include Javac compiler"!!??

[maringa]

Hi,
I've been doing macros in ImageJ for a couple of weeks and wants to do Plugins instead!
I have installed the lastest ImageJ bundled with Java
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
and a Java Compiler (J2SE SDK)

but when I try to run and compile anything in ImageJ it just says
"The JVM does not include Javac compiler. Javac is included with the
latest version of ImageJ bundled with Java"

Why? I have spent a lot of time trying to solve this, I know that I
also need ij.jar and I have set the classpath to this file C://programfiles/ImageJ/ij.jar...

I do not know what to do with ImageJ class and configuration files, I guess this is the
API which I have downloaded.

Any help would be very helpful!

We tried to address issues like this specifically with Fiji:

        http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/

It is basically ImageJ bundled with a few components, such as a Javac
compiler.
