Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to build a user-friendly GUI for a PlugIn. I know that it must be possible, but I looked all over the net and couldn't find a solute answer. The problem that I have is that the PlugIn runs bug-free, and the imageJ status line says "done" without showing the GUI.

For example an easy code:

import ij.*;
import ij.process.*;
import ij.gui.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import ij.plugin.*;
import ij.plugin.frame.*;
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.*;
 



public class JFrameExample_
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        JFrame myJFrame = new JFrame();
        myJFrame.setTitle("JRadioButton Beispiel");
        myJFrame.setSize(450,300);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setBackground(Color.red);

        JCheckBox check = new JCheckBox("Ich bin eine CheckBox", true);
        panel.add(check);
 
        myJFrame.add(panel);
    myJFrame.setLocation(100, 200);
        myJFrame.pack();
        myJFrame.setVisible(true);
        }
}

The Compiler runs over it without any trouble, but the GUI is not shown. I saw a lot of PlugIns running with Java GUIs but I couldn't get a single one work! I'm very gladful for every idea.

best regards
