ImageJ'ers -
I agree entirely with Albert. As some of you know, I've been working on a
refactoring of ImageJ that doesn't force you to choose between Swing and
AWT, but rather decouples the GUI components from the rest of the
application. I believe that this can be done in a way that requires only
trivial changes to existing plugins while opening up many new possibilities.
In addition to accommodating AWT, Swing, GWT, and QT, as Albert mentioned,
I'm also considering how to make it possible to strap ImageJ functionality
into a rich cient platform, e.g. Eclipse RCP or NetBeans Platform. For
instance, here is a big list of NetBeans Platform applications:

and debugging for 5 years, so I have at least a familiarity-bias towards it.)
If anyone is interested in collaborating on exploring this aspect with me,
let me know.
With the NIH funding through LOCI (see Curtis' announcement from yesterday),
I will be working full time on this effort and I am looking forward to
helping to support and grow ImageJ and the community. As Curtis mentioned,
we will be posting lots of material to the imagedev.org site in the coming
weeks.
Cheers.
