Hi Hanumanth,

See this message in the archives:
https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0806&L=IMAGEJ&P=R18536&I=-3

Also, I believe you do not want to nest JAR files -- rather, you
should extract the contents of all the JARs you wish to combine into a
common directory structure, then create one combined JAR file
containing all the files. In the case of plugins, I believe they
should be extracted beneath the plugins subfolder. But please be aware
that I do not have much experience using ImageJ as an applet and could
be wrong.
