But then I bumped into the problem with the extra "/".

The ImageJ 1.44e daily build adds the static method

        Macro_Runner.runMacroFromJar(String name, String arg)

for running a macro contained in a JAR file. This method does not add an extra "/" to the name and it allows you to pass an argument to the macro. Here is an example call:

   Macro_Runner.runMacroFromJar("macro.txt", "argument")
