Ping?

Thanks to Michael, I now know that I can find ij152s-src.zip at

  https://wsr.imagej.net/src/

but still, other things beyond just ij.jar can change in ij152s-src.zip
compared to the ij152.zip cross-platform distro download.  How can I
build a full cross-platform distro from source, or is it not possible?

Should I start with

  http://wsr.imagej.net/distros/cross-platform/ij152.zip

and then just copy everything from

  https://wsr.imagej.net/src/ij152s-src.zip

into it, overwriting any files of the same name?

Or is there something that assembles a full cross-platform distro (i.e.,
fetches the macros, plugins, and LUTs that are packaged with it)?

Thanks!

Lewis
