Hi Thomas,
You say your program is an "application." Does that mean it is a
standalone program? Or are you writing a plugin or macro for ImageJ?
If writing a macro, you can use the Bio-Formats Macro Extensions. For
a plugin, you should be able to just import the appropriate
loci.formats.* classes in your plugin code as long as both
loci_tools.jar and your plugin are in the ImageJ plugins folder.
If your application is really standalone and does not depend on
ImageJ, then you can instead follow the directions on the Bio-Formats
web site at <
http://www.loci.wisc.edu/ome/formats.html> for "Using
Bio-Formats as a library" without involving ImageJ at all (unless you
are making use of ImageJ's image processing capabilities elsewhere in
your app). In particular I suggest you take a look at the "Using
Bio-Formats Guide" available at
<
https://skyking.microscopy.wisc.edu/svn/java/trunk/loci/formats/doc/using-bioformats.txt>
and linked from the web site.
