Every .jar file is a library first (which is really a .zip file with
certain conventions), and some of them are also executable .jar files (by
having a "Main-Class: xyz.ABC" line in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF entry).
So: no need to recompile.

You can easily use Git without knowing it. But you can also drop the
ij.jar somewhere and ask Eclipse to use it as a dependency.
Your next questions are most likely:
Q: How do I save my BufferedImage?
A: You first need to wrap it into an ImagePlus:
import ij.ImagePlus;
...
ImagePlus imp = new ImagePlus("My image", bufferedImage);
and then you need to use the IJ convenience class to save it:
import ij.IJ;
...
IJ.saveAs(imp, "TIFF", "/my/output/path.tiff");
Q: Where can I find documentation about the available classes?
A: You can see the current ImageJ 1.x' JavaDocs here:
