Hi Stéphane,

> Unfortunately, I still encounter the same problem

Do your files end in the extension .url? If so, then as I said, they are
not actually .java / .jar / .ijm files, but only URL references to those
files. You need to actually download the files from the Internet before
ImageJ can open them. Or you can use File > Import > URL..., although
please note that ImageJ cannot handle opening https:// URLs from
imagej.nih.gov. You will probably find it easiest to download files using
your web browser, and then drag and drop them onto ImageJ.

Unfortunately, your image attachments did not come through.

Regards,
Curtis
