ImageJDev project update

[ctrueden]

Hi everyone,

For those who haven't already heard, ImageJDev is a project to create the
next generation version of ImageJ.

I gave a talk at the ImageJ 2010 conference describing the project; for
those who missed it, the slides are online with speaker notes at:
   http://imagejdev.org/2010/10/29/imagejdev-presentation-imagejconf

We also recently updated the ImageJDev web site (http://imagejdev.org/) to
reflect our latest work (http://imagejdev.org/current-status), describe the
software architecture as it develops (http://imagejdev.org/design), and
more.

We have been making steady progress, but the project is still under heavy
development, with nothing ready for end users to try yet. We plan to release
an alpha version next month, a beta next summer, and a stable release next
fall.

For those interested in participating in the project's development, we
suggest signing up for the ImageJX mailing list for general future
directions and software architecture discussions about ImageJ, and/or the
ImageJ-devel list for day-to-day discussion of the ImageJDev project—see
http://imagejdev.org/mailing-lists for more details.

Happy holidays!

Hi Albert,

Thanks for the update. It's missing one key explanation: how to launch it.

We wanted to have an alpha version of all the functionality pulled together
by the holidays, but unfortunately it is not quite ready. I assure you that
running ImageJ2 in its current form will be highly unimpressive. That said,
if you are set on trying it, the easiest way at the moment is:

$ mvn
$ cd imagej
$ ./run

This will invoke the Maven command to copy all the dependent JAR files to a
common folder and launch the program with the appropriate classpath.

I will send another update to the lists before the end of January, and
hopefully by then we will have an alpha version ready as well.

Regards,
Curtis
