What's the best way to install Eclipse and ImageJ?

[Avital Steinberg]

Hi,
I am not so happy about the way I installed Eclipse and ImageJ on Linux and
Mac. The way I did it before did not allow me to update ImageJ easily. So
now I would like to install them all over again.

What's the most recommended way to install Eclipse and ImageJ - on each of
the following operating systems:

Linux (Ubuntu), Mac and Windows.

Thanks,

Avital

The ImageJ wiki has a page on Eclipse:
http://imagej.net/Developing_ImageJ_in_Eclipse

It has instructions for installation, per platform, source code checkout,
importing projects, and running ImageJ. It also links to a number of useful
resources.

Hope that helps.

Best,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks - the instructions look different from the ones I used, so hopefully
- they will work better,

When I try to follow these instructions, there is something missing:

In "import the ImageJ source", it says to select existing Maven project.
Where can I find a detailed explanation about Maven projects? I understand
that I should have exising Maven projects, but assuming that I've just
installed Eclipse and ImageJ and I've never heard of Maven, these
instructions are not clear to me.

Thanks,
Avital

Hi Avital,

http://imagej.net/Maven

> I understand that I should have exising Maven projects

Right. It should not be necessary to understand anything about Maven if
what you want to do is to import existing project(s) into Eclipse. Just
follow the instructions Mark linked.

That said, in response to your questions, we are making some edits to the
ImageJ Development pages to hopefully make things clearer and easier to
understand for newcomers. We will reply back again once those edits are in
place.

Regards,
Curtis

Thank you, Wayne and Curtis for your answers. I am trying to follow the
instructions in the link that Wayne gave me. I followed the instructions up
to the point in which I download ImageJ, copy the ij folder into the src
folder, copy the plugins folder into the IJ folder, and also copy
IJ_props.txt to the IJ folder. (the platform I'm using right now is Windows
7)

Now, when I look in Eclipse, I see two red x's - one is next to
ij.plugin.quicktime and the other one is next to ij.plugin.twain .

Why would this be? How would you recommend fixing this problem?

Thanks,
Avital

Hi Avital,

>Now, when I look in Eclipse, I see two red x's

There is a Problems view
<http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-31a.htm>
in Eclipse, which can be used to investigate the causes of issues in this
case. Without knowing what error message is being displayed, it's hard to
suggest possible fixes.

>I understand that I should have exising Maven projects
>these instructions are not clear to me.

After going back through these documents, I completely agree that there
were critical gaps in the instructions. We rewrote the source code
<http://imagej.net/Source_code> page, in particular, and updated related
sections of the wiki. I hope these changes will clarify for future readers
that the Git repositories contain Maven projects which can be easily
imported into Eclipse (e.g. that ImageJA <https://github.com/imagej/ImageJA>
is the Maven-ized ImageJ source).

Thank you for the feedback!

Best,
Mark
