Hi Johannes,

This code:

import ij.*;
import ij.process.*;
import ij.gui.*;
import java.awt.*;
import ij.plugin.frame.*;

public class Plugin_Frame extends PlugInFrame {

        public Plugin_Frame() {
                super("Plugin_Frame");
                TextField tf = new TextField();
                add(tf);
                pack();
                GUI.center(this);
                setVisible(true);
        }

}

produces the following error

   File....\Plugin_Frame.java:12: cannot find symbol
   symbol  : method add(TextField)
   location: class Plugin_Frame
                add(tf);

But only in Fiji - it works fine with ImageJ.

It would be helpful to know how they fail, i.e. what the error messages
are. Remember, things usually succeed in only one way, but they can fail
in million ways.

Ciao,
