The file open dialogs on Mac don't let you access the package contents
as you can do in Finder.
As a workaround, you can Alt-Cmd-Drag any folder (e.g. Fiji.app/jars)
out of the .app package into a normal, accessible folder on your disk.
This will create a symlink/alias that is accessible also via the file
chooser dialogs.

Hth,
Jan
