Hi Todd,

I have created an open-source project called ShapeLogic (www.shapelogic.org)
 and the technique I am using there might apply to your problem.

I am using Maven 2 as my build environment. It is very simple to learn and
use. It works with both Eclipse, Netbeans and IntelliJ.

To build and deploy I have a 2 step process. Steps:
1: From command line run: mvn package  
This will run all unit tests and if there are no errors, build the jar file.

2: Move the newly build jar file shapelogic_-0.9.jar from shapelogic/target
to to ImageJ/plugin dir.

Note it has to have an underscore in the name to be picked up by ImageJ.

Debugging:
Just start the debugger from Eclipse, with these setting:
Debugging class: ij.ImageJ (main ImageJ class)
Start directory:  ImageJ directory:
VM setting: -Xmx50m

This should also work in Netbeans.

I started putting a description of my process up here:
http://www.shapelogic.org/setup.html
It should be done later today.

I hope this is helpful.
