Silly most basic question ever asked here :-)

I have been using the built-in features of IJ for awhile. I have found a plug-in that I wish to use. It's available as both .class and .java files and I have downloaded both into IJ's "plugins" folder. Is that the correct folder?

I cannot for the life of me figure our how to open and use this plug-iin with IJ. Are these two files in the correct folder? Do I need both of them? What menu item or command do I use so that IJ can access these?

Sorry to bother with such a simple question, I could not find the answer anywhere. I suspect this question is far too basic for the IJ website.

I have IJ 1.38, 1.44 and 1.47

The plugins folder is the proper place to put the pre-mentioned plugin.

I mean, "Yup, put it in the plugins folder."

You only need to put the .class file in there. The .java file is the "source code" for the plugin (you can read it to see how the plugin works and even modify it). The .class file is the compiled plugin and that's all ImageJ really needs to work with.

Once installed, restart ImageJ and the plugin should appear in under the menu item "Plugins".

Dwib,

Thanks for your reply. I tried that (again) and it still does not work. I have a dozen or so .class files that I have tried to use over the years... none are available to IJ. This holds true for all of the IJ version that I have downloaded and tried.

All,

Thanks for putting up with my posts. I decided to delete ALL ImageJ stuff, download, Install and put all 41 (!) .class files in the plugins folder and restart. That worked. Should have tried that years ago :-)
