Hi Jeff,
Sorry for the delay in reply; many of us were busy last week with the
ImageJ conference in Luxembourg!

My understanding is that ImageJ1 will continue to be developed and
supported by Wayne, both now and after the final release of ImageJ2. At
some point that may change, but it is Wayne's prerogative. And of course,
ImageJ1 will also continue to be supported by the community via the mailing
list.
As for ImageJ2, it also is, and will continue to be, supported by the
ImageJ2 development team and community. It will continue to bundle the
newest release version of ImageJ1 with each release.

Effort to put in... in what sense? Exploring and developing for ImageJ2?
Porting ImageJ1 plugins over to ImageJ2?

Our initial stated goal is 100% backwards compatibility. In practice,
ImageJ2 has achieved support for existing non-interactive ImageJ1 plugins,
macros and scripts.
Interactive ImageJ1 plugins, tools, etc., are more difficult, and will
probably not be supported in many cases. However, we have ported many of
them to the ImageJ2 framework, and plan to write up instructions on how to
do so for third party plugins.
All of that said, the only way to know for sure whether ImageJ2 works with
your group's ImageJ1 plugins is to try it.
Regards,
Curtis
