Yes, I lent it, already. But it doesn't help me on that very much.

So what would you recommend?, Fiji repository or ImageJA repository  
for developing ImageJ? I saw that Wayne merged his code into the  
ImageJA repo.
Are there any major differences between ImageJA and ImageJ (except the  
applet) on the desktop Version?
I think Fiji isn't the right place for us, because it is more designed  
for the end-user of imagej and not for the developer of it.
What is your opinion?

I just found something for Eclipse, but this IDE doesn't work very  
well on a Mac Intel64 and so I am working with NetBeans.
Today I tried to fit the ImageJ Source into the NetBeans Folder  
structure. And it didn't work quite well, due to the build.xml file.
Maybe later this week :) I don't have any experience with ant yet.
Currently I just copied everything from the ImageJ Source to the src  
Folder in NetBeans. With the standart build.xml I can compile the  
ImageJ source.
The build.xml file is written with Netbeans, does nobody us it anymore?
