Probably a bug within the ImageJ Plugins->Compile_and_Run... method

Dear all (probably Wayne),

I have the following plugin file (Call_Demo.java):

                               public class Call_Demo

                               {

                                               public static String
method1(String arg1)

                                               {

                                                               return
"method1"+"("+arg1+")";

                                               }

                               }

That I call with the following plugin (My_Plugin.java):

                               import ij.*;

                               import ij.plugin.*;

 

                               public class My_Plugin implements PlugIn

                               {

                                               public void run(String arg)

                                               {

 
IJ.log(Call_Demo.method1("arg1"));

                                               }

                               }

In this case everything is working fine: i.e. I get the result
"method1(arg1)" within the log window when I compile both plugins with the
ImageJ Plugins->Compile_and_Run... method.

 

If I then pack the Call_Demo.java (and Call_Demo.class) file (with the
needed plugins.config file) within a jar file having no "_" within its name
(for example test.jar), I can’t see the "Call_Demo" plugin within the ImageJ
plugin menus (in agreement to what is described here:
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=howto:plugins:howto_create_an_imagej_
plugin_jar_file) but when compiling My_Plugin.java with the the ImageJ
Plugins->Compile_and_Run... method everything is still working fine (i.e. I
get the result "method1(arg1)" within the log window).

 

But if I now rename the jar file (within which the Call_Demo.java,
Call_Demo.class and plugins.config file are packed) to "test_it.jar", I can
now see "Call_Demo" plugin within the ImageJ plugin menus (in agreement to
what is described here:
http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/doku.php?id=howto:plugins:howto_create_an_imagej_
plugin_jar_file) but when compiling My_Plugin.java with the the ImageJ
Plugins->Compile_and_Run... method I get now the error: cannot find symbol
symbol  : variable Call_Demo location: class My_Plugin
IJ.log(Call_Demo.method1("arg1"));.

 

Nevertheless, if I put the "test_it.jar" and "My_Plugin.java" within the
plugin folder of Fiji, Drag&Drop "My_Plugin.java" file within the Fiji
window in order to open a Script… widow where I press Run, the
"My_Plugin.java" is then correctly compiled.

 

And if I finally put the "My_Plugin.class" file obtained within Fiji inside
of the ImageJ plugin folder I can then as well correctly run the
"My_Plugin.class" plugin.

 

I thank you very much in advance for your help about this issue.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Philippe

 

 

 

Bien cordialement,

Philippe
