Hi to all,
i'm trying to write a plugin that calls bio-formats to import images.
I usually use Eclipse as Java IDE to write in jython and debug my FIJI plugins.
The problem is that:
how can I import bio-formats plugin to my EE?
I would launch my ImageJ() from Eclipse and I would to have Import-->Bio-Formats in my menu.

Recording the command by macro recorder is :
IJ.run("Bio-Formats")
but obviously when I launch that commands using Eclipse I have this error:
Unrecognized command : "bio-formats".

So the question is how can in generally add existing plugin in my IDE?

Thank you,
Emanuele Martini
