I have not had issues with ImageJ/Fiji jar files between Windows and
MacOSX. I did recently have some issues with the NIST DTSA-II Kelvin
release on the Mac because of some changes on the MacOS side. One of
the entries in the file menu does not show up on the Mac because of
changes in MacOS. I suspect it could be launched independently from
another menu because other sub-menus work OK. MacOSX doesn't seem to
want anything unsusual in the File menu (like a Preferences menu). No
issues with Linux (Lubuntu).
