The Plugins>Compile and Run command does not normally add jar files with “_” in their names to the javac class path, which means the plugin your are compiling cannot access the classes in a jar file that has an “_” in its name. As a workaround, put the jar file that needs to be accessed in the plugin/jars folder. With the latest ImageJ daily build (1.51e13), all jar files in plugins/jars are added to the javac class path.
