File Metadata

	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](http://eclipse.org), for example, it is as simple as
	_File>Import...>Existing Maven Project_

	In [Netbeans](http://netbeans.org), it is even simpler: _File>Open_
	Project. The same works in [IntelliJ](http://jetbrains.net).

	If [jEdit](http://jedit.org) is your preferred IDE, you will need the [Maven
	Plugin](http://plugins.jedit.org/plugins/?MavenPlugin).

	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.
