Dscho,

I am no expert on the topic, but I believe the issue is more to do with
Apple's support/commitment (or lack thereof) to QTJ (Quicktime for Java
bindings) than it is with anything in the plugin or ImageJ. Perhaps
there is a more recent reference, but from the looks of the following
(amongst other sites and postings to the same effect that I have seen)
it doesn't look promising:
   
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java14Development/01-JavaOverview/JavaOverview.html

In particular, read the "32-bit and 64-bit Java" section of the
aforementioned web page.

If anyone else has better/more-up-to-date information, please share it
with the list.

Best,

-Woody
