README.md
This is a minimal Maven project implementing an ImageJ 1.x plugin
It is intended as an ideal starting point to develop new ImageJ 1.x plugins in an IDE of your choice. You can even collaborate with developers using a different IDE than you.
In Eclipse, for example, it is as simple as _File>Import...>Existing Maven Project_
In Netbeans, it is even simpler: _File>Open_ Project. The same works in IntelliJ.
If jEdit is your preferred IDE, you will need the Maven Plugin.
Die-hard command-line developers can use Maven directly by calling _mvn_ in the project root.
However you build the project, in the end you will have the .jar file in the _target/_ subdirectory. Simply copy it into your ImageJ's _plugins/_ directory, run _Help>Refresh Menus_ and the plugin will be available in _Process>Process Pixels_ (this can be changed by editing _src/main/resources/plugins.config_).
Developing plugins in an IDE is convenient, especially for debugging. To that end, the plugin contains a _main()_ method which sets the _plugins.dir_ system property (so that the plugin is added to the Plugins menu), starts ImageJ, loads an image and runs the plugin.
Since this project is intended as a starting point for your own developments, it is in the public domain.
