Hi Chris,

The "JAR Resources Demo" plugin at

   http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/plugins/pcl-demo.html

opens TIFFs using 

   InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream(path+"image.tif");
   if (is!=null) {
      Opener opener = new Opener();
      ImagePlus imp = opener.openTiff(is, "San Francisco (TIFF)");
      if (imp!=null)
         imp.show();
   }
 
which should work with ImageJ TIFF stacks.
