updated instructions for compiling ImageJ under NetBeans 6.5 on Mac?

[Bill Christens-Barry]

I recently installed NetBeans 6.5 on a Mac running OS 10.5.6, downloaded the ImageJ source code,
and tried following the instructions at the ImageJ website for doing a build. I found that the
instructions didn't match up against what this somewhat naive NetBeaner saw. Can anyone point me
to updated instructions for this?

Thanks.

You can compile and run ImageJ from source on Mac OS X by opening a
Terminal window, typing 'cd ', dragging the 'source' folder to the
Terminal window, pressing return and then typing 'ant'. NetBeans is not
required. The ImageJ source code is available at
<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/download/src/>.
