[ome-users] BD Pathway plate import

[Chris Allan]

If it's available somewhere we can extract it. Don't get too caught up  
in what BDReader.java does or does not do. Could you give us an idea  
of what the folder structure you have looks like and which directory  
and/or file specifically makes up the plate name? I assume this is a  
plate bar code?
