The easiest way to find out what is the correct command line is to look
into Contents/Info.plist in the ImageJ.app/ folder (e.g. via Finder's
context menu on the ImageJ icon; the action is called "Show Package
Contents").

The key to look for is "CFBundleExecutable", and the command line is the
corresponding string.

Hth,
