Indeed. The "Scrollbar sliceSelector" was replaced by a
"ScrollbarWithLabel sliceSelector" without prior warning. The bad part is
that "ScrollbarWithLabel" has a Scrollbar as member, but extends the Panel
class, thereby breaking backwards-compatibility.

I only see two ways out:

1) adjust Image5D (which means, however, that everybody has to upgrade to
a new Image5D when upgrading ImageJ)

2) reverting the change in ImageJ, or at least adjusting it.

I'll let Wayne make the call.

Ciao,
