Hi Stephane,

I am guessing you have "Hide file extensions for known types" turned on in
your system. Windows ships with this "feature" turned on by default. So
your files are not actually .java, .jar or .ijm files, but rather .url
pointers to those files online, as you might guess from the text shown by
ImageJ.

See this guide to disable this confusing feature:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions

Regards,
Curtis
