I am using FIJI.  I can't seem to navigate to the jars directory in the "Save Plugin, Macro or Script..." dialog. (on a Mac, if that matters)  It may have to do with restrictions made by MacOSX on access to "package contents".  I know how to override that elsewhere - but not during a drag&drop install.

I'm trying to install using drag&drop.

I'm not sure I can depend on my users to use my update site or manually move .jar files into the FIJI package.  So, I prefer to use drag&drop to install.  But, that appears to restrict me to the plugins directory.

Question: if I manually install it in jars - will the update mechanism allow me to post it to my update site and then allow my users to use Update to fetch it?

I suppose I could live with the cluttered Plugins menu - but it looks bad.

I suppose I could also go through my entire code base and change the names of the classes with '_' in their names - but these classes are used in many places, not only in ImageJ.

I suppose what I'd really like is some way to use a plugins.config file to say "don't show this anywhere in the Plugins menu.

For now, I'll leave it in plugins, and live with the extra Plugins menu entry.
