Rob,
My post wasn't OT , as I was interested in seeing if I could use the ImageJ
and other APIs outside of ImageJ.
And, yes , I am aware that JavaScript and Java are different. I was trying
trying to use the importPackage/importClass feature which is supported by
ImageJ. But as Wayne pointed out, it isn't a feature of Firefox Javascript.
