automatic plugins submenu

[Ben.BigHair]

Hello,

Reading "Writing ImageJ Plugins—A Tutorial" by Werner Bailer indicates
that in the past the plugins folder could have subdirectories from which
submenus are automatically created.  I noticed that for ImageJ 1.38t on
Mac OSX it doesn't seem to work.  Here's a snippet from the tutorial
which was written for version 1.36.

I didn't find any reference in the ImageJ News bulletin about a change
away from that behavior. Is there a trick to this?

Thanks,
Ben

I am using it without problems, and I heard from people using it on
MacOSX. I _suspect_ that you do not have underscores in the class name, or
something similar.

Mea Culpa!   Thanks to Wayne for straightening me out.  I misread the
explanation in the tutorial (which is very clear.)

Thanks!

Is this 1 level down the "plugins" folder or several levels down (sub-menu of
a sub-menu)?

I thought that it was only 1...
