Mathias,

asssuming that you already have a stand-alone Java program now, I would
create an ImageJ plugin by basically porting your existing main() method
to the plugin's run() method and putting all your other code into a
suitable Java package. Then you run your program by simply invoking the
plugin on your open image(s).
