Hi All

I'm having trouble getting tidy menu items for my plugins.

I followed the IJ-Eclipse best practice instructions from the IJ
conference in Luxembourg and started putting my plugins in packages,
e.g. in Fit_Sphere.java

package org.doube.bone_geometry;

But then I get lots of levels of menus before I can select a plugin,
which is a pain, e.g.:
Plugins>org>doube>bone_geometry>Fit Sphere

So I wrote a plugins.config file, using these instructions:
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0804&L=IMAGEJ&P=R5626&I=-3
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=howto:plugins:howto_create_an_imagej_plugin_jar_file

But if I put this in my plugins.config:
Plugins>Bone Geometry, "Fit Sphere", org.doube.bone_geometry.Fit_Sphere("")

I get the menu entry Plugins>Bone Geometry>Fit Sphere, but running it
throws this exception:
Plugin or class not found: "org.doube.bone_geometry.Fit_Sphere
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.doube.bone_geometry.Fit_Sphere)

Bone_Geometry.jar is saved in ~/ImageJ/plugins/ and plugins.config is in
the root directory of the jar, and all the class files are in
/org/doube/bone_geometry/ within the jar.

How can I fix this?

Cheers

Mike
