Hi Rodrigo,

>how can I add this plugin and where to find it once installed?

Any plugin in the /plugins directory of Fiji, or subdirectory there of,
should be detected and loaded into Fiji *on launch*. The path to the plugin
on disk is actually independent of its menu path in ImageJ or Fiji - so
whether you put CINE_File.jar in /plugins or /plugins/Input-Output, it will
appear under "File>Import>Cine File" regardless.

>WARNING: The PluginClassLoader cannot be reset

This is, unfortunately, a known limitation of Fiji right now - that Refresh
Menus will not work like it does in ImageJ. Effectively, the plugins that
are present when you launch Fiji are fixed until you close and re-launch.

So you did the right thing by putting CINE_File.jar in Fiji.app/plugins;
you should just need to restart Fiji to see the new menu option.

Best,
Mark
