Example script collection for ImageJ

This repository illustrates how to manage several ImageJ scripts in a collection.

---

Note that to make scripts available as menu commands in ImageJ, it is sufficient to put the script files into a subfolder of ImageJ.app/scripts/, and to make them available to others, it is sufficient to upload the script files to an update site.

---

Keeping script files in a collection like this one adds the following benefits:

• Dependency management with Maven
• Versioned deployment using Git, Maven, and GitHub Actions
• Optionally: keep your scripts functional by running Java unit tests with every build

How to use

1. Visit this link to create a new repository in your space using this one as a template.

2. Delete src/test/java if you don't require tests.

3. Put your scripts into a subfolder of src/main/resources/scripts (the name of the subfolder[s] corresponds to the menu[s] where the commands will appear).

4. Edit pom.xml to reflect your project information.

5. Run mvn to build your jar file, or mvn -Dscijava.app.directory=/path/to/your/ImageJ.app to directly copy the jar file and possible dependencies into your ImageJ/Fiji installation.

6. Make your initial commit and push the results!
