Example for a simple IJ2 / Fiji Plugin

Wonder how to write a IJ2 / Fiji Plugin (Command) that can run nicely from within Eclipse and Fiji or ImageJ2?

There are several answer Google gives you, and most of them go the old IJ (1) way. If you want to use ops or any of the IJ2 services you will appreciate this:

Or this one (which also uses ops to work on images):

Using maven to deploy directly to a Fiji installation

This is extremely useful just before you want to upload your plugin(s) to your/a update site. If this really is you use case, you might want to check that the parent POM version you are using coincides with the one of the latest Fiji release!

The command for this is:

mvn -Dimagej.app.directory=/Applications/Fiji.app/ -Ddelete.other.versions=true clean install

And in case the enforcer annoys you — it can be turned off like this:

mvn -Dimagej.app.directory=/Applications/Fiji.app/ -Ddelete.other.versions=true -Denforcer.skip=true clean install

Enjoy,
