Thanks for the clarification.

OK, after reading through the link you mentioned, I understand your problem
now.

The reason it copies your code into jars rather than plugins can be seen in
the source code for imagej-maven-plugin:
https://github.com/imagej/imagej-maven-plugin/blob/9661c28fe2e88524ad3adef003be82d24cb36591/src/main/java/imagej/maven/CopyJarsMojo.java#L252

Your artifactId does not have an underscore in the name, so
imagej-maven-plugin assumes it is a library (which go in jars/) rather than
a plugin (which go in plugins/).

Try renaming your artifact from e.g. "myArtifact" to "my_artifact" or
"myArtifact_" to match ImageJ1's naming convention. You'll need an
underscore in the name of the JAR, anyway, for ImageJ1 to pick it up as a
plugin.

Curtis
