Hi,
  I installed ImageJ through "sudo apt-get" on Ubuntu 9.10. Then I clicked
"Help->Update ImageJ..." menu, but an dialog shows : "No write access:
/usr/share/java/ij.jar".
  It seems that I use the root privilege to install ImageJ by "sudo", and the
file "ij.jar" belongs root. So when I start ImageJ by non root user, it can't
write to file "ij.jar".
  How to solve this problem?
  Thanks!
