Jim,

Now I'm curious.  Why is ImageJ listening to a port at all?  Am I missing
> something?


It is listening for communication from other instances of ImageJ on the same
machine (but from different JVMs). This way, if ImageJ is already running,
and you launch another copy of ImageJ, the new copy can pass the parameters
to the original copy, then die, and only have one ImageJ in memory at a
time.
