Hi, all
Is there an easy way (or even slightly not-so-easy way) to have the plugins from different folders installed in the menu when imagej starts up?
Looking here http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/menus/plugins.html 


I tried to apply the plugins.dir property for  multiple plugin directorys, is there a certain way that Java likes path portions to be concatenated?
I tried

-Dplugins.dir="/first/folder;/second/folder"
-Dplugins.dir="/first/folder /second/folder"
-Dplugins.dir="/first/folder" -Dplugins.dir="/second/folder"

Where each of these folders contains a plugins/ folder with some .ijm files within. Each one can be included successfully on its own, but then the original defaults are not

Invariably I get one or neither of these folders included but not both, and if one is included.

Configurable site-wide plugins combined with  group- and/or personal-plugins would be handy but it seems not entirely obvious (to me) how to configure this.

Thanks
Robert
