Dear Jakob,
- Open up the ImageJ application folder
- Control click on the ImageJ application and select “Show Package Contents”
- Copy ij.jar from Contents/Resources/Java into the ImageJ directory
From now on double click on the ij.jar file to launch ImageJ. This will launch ImageJ with your current version of JVM that you have installed
You may find that Yosemite prevents you from launching ImageJ with a warning “ImageJ can’t be launched because it is from an unidentified developer”
If you get this either adjust your security settings in your system preferences or control clicl on ij.jar and select Open whereupon you should get the option to override the default security settings and launch ImageJ.
Regards — Michael Ellis
