I am using the latest version of fiji (md5sum):

5d5c9b236323446e16e549033dd956a0 fiji-linux64.zip

On an Arch Linux box, using Java 8.

When I go to Plugins::Bio-Formats::‘Bio-Formats Importer’ and try to open a zvi file I get (log file):

@bug

Perhaps you can check if you have the Java-8 update site enabled?

Also - if the problem persists… you can always report it to the Bio-Formats team.

I did not have the Java-8 update site enabled. I did it and restarted ImageJ. Now it won’t even start…

@bug

Can you try downloading/reinstalling Fiji again? And try the .zvi import (File > Import > Bio-Formats) without the update site enabled first after the fresh installation… but again:

… as I said above if the problem persists with Bio-Formats.

@etarena: Thanks anyways. The problem persists so I will contact the Bio-Formats team.
