Description
In Eclipse, edit `net.imagej.Main.main` to add the line:
``` java
System.setProperty("plugins.dir", "/path/to/your/Fiji.app");
```
Then launch the main class. You will see all of Fiji's plugins in the menus. However, attempting to execute any of them yields a dialog box with a "Plugin or class not found" error.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure by launching net.imagej.Main.main from Eclipse with plugins.dir set to a Fiji.app path, then inspect the plugin-loading path associated with the "Plugin or class not found" dialog. Done means ImageJ1 plugins discovered in the menus can be executed successfully from Eclipse.
