Hello,

I'm a new ImageJ user with a really basic question. I'm running the newest version on Max OS X (10.6.5 with Java SE 6) and I'm trying to install a .jar file plugin. Some documentation says to just drop it in the plugins folder and when you restart the program, the plugin menu options will be available - that didn't work. Other documentation says to use Plugins -> Compile and Run, but ImageJ complains that it needs to be a .class or .java file.

I've tried a few different common .jar plugins and even tried removing the underscore from the file name. Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
James
