Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure it will work for me. My plugin
is pretty complex. If I have ImageJ source in the project I can check
syntax in the editor and search the ImageJ files. I even used to be
able to debug the plugin. Will that work using your method? My plugin
I am not sure what is going on with windows 7. I realize now that the
javac compiler should be in tools.jar. Why this is not being recognized
I don't know. Does anyone have any ideas how I can troubleshoot this?
