Hi Philippe,

if you Compile&Run a class that is also in a .jar or .zip file in your
plugins and that .jar or .zip was loaded when ImageJ was started, the
following wil happen:
It will compile the new version (and check for errors), but not replace
the version from the .jar or .zip file, so it will execute the code from
the .jar or .zip.

If the previous version is only a .class file in the plugins, the
replaced version will be used. I am not sure whether this is intentional
or not (replacing one class in a .jar might lead to incompatibilities).


Could this explain your problem?


Michael
