The Multiple Image Processor plugin at

    http://ciar.rcm.upr.edu/projects/imageprocessor/multiples

is distributed as a JAR file ("M_I_P.jar"). All you have to do is  
copy this file to the ImageJ plugins folder, restart ImageJ, and  
there will be a new "Multiple Image Processor" command in the Plugins  
menu. You can also copy the file to an immediate subfolder of the  
plugins folder. In this case, after restarting ImageJ, the command  
will appear in the submenu of the Plugins menu that corresponds to  
the subfolder.

Plugins distributed as .java files are also copied to the plugins  
folder or subfolder, but they have to be compiled (translated  
to .class files) using the Plugins>Compile and Run command.
