You need to add support for your plugin to the HandleExtraFileTypes plugin. Drag and drop the file ImageJ/plugins/Input-Output/HandleExtraFileTypes.java onto the “ImageJ” window, go to the location marked "MODIFY HERE” and add code similar to

   if (name.endsWith(“.xyz")) {
      return tryPlugIn(“XYZ_Reader", path);
   }

where “.xyz” is the extension used by your files and XYZ_Reader.class is your plugin. Then use the Plugins>Compile and Run command to compile the HandleExtraFileTypes plugin.
