Dscho & Wayne,
Thanks for the feedback. I'd be interested in reading that blog post about
adding new plugin types, Dscho, so here's my vote to encourage you to write
it.
Thanks for the details on the plugins/jars folders. If you can't tell, I've
been an ImageJ1 user for a while, but am just now becoming familiar with
the Fiji and ImageJ2 community.

My plan is to make a general class that knows how to serialize,
deserialize, display info about, and test the file format reader/writer.
This could be used in any Java program and not tied to ImageJ1 or 2. Then,
I will write the plugins (one for IJ1, one for SCIFIO) as a user of that
class.
I would make the writer a PlugIn, which is simpler and easier to

I agree that PlugInFilter isn't doing anything that useful for a file
writer. Thanks for the reference.
Cheers,
Alan
