Using ImageJ as a dependency

To use ImageJ as a library in your Maven project, add the dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.imagej</groupId>
  <artifactId>ij</artifactId>
  <version>1.53j</version>
</dependency>

Where 1.53j is the version of ImageJ you would like to use:

Versions up to 1.48q are in the SciJava Maven repository.
Versions starting with 1.48r are on Maven Central.
Be aware that versions prior to 1.53k may not identically match the corresponding release tags here in this repository.

The Apache Ant utility will compile and run ImageJ using the build.xml file in this directory. There is a version of Ant at

https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/download/tools/ant/ant.zip

set up to use the JVM distributed with the Windows version of ImageJ. The README included in the ZIP archive has more information.
