Haha, nice to hear that, even after several attempts with Eclipse etc. I
still
prefer the built-in editor even for intermediately complex plugins as 2D
Phase unwrapping,
fringe processing, interferogram data viewing using a JTable and
reconstruction
(including the ability to later change tilt, defocus and introduce other
artificial aberrations, just
like you would be sitting at the true interferometer), show the respective
PSF etc.etc.
Maybe that´s because I´m one of those old fashioned guys that grew up with
Fortran IV
and V (Univac 1108 Fortran!!) and initially only a deck of cards.....
By the way, there is an old little change request for the internal editor
of ImageJ: Could the editor
remember the latest "Case sensitivity" setting between restart? It always
comes up again with "Case Sensitive"
Thanx
Cheers
Joachim
