Hi Jan,

> I am working on a plugin to extend ImageJ with OpenCV functionality.

Great stuff. Some quick comments:

1) You might be interested in these projects:

* https://github.com/scifio/scifio-javacv
* https://github.com/knime-ip/knip-opencv

Neither of those replicates exactly what you are trying to do, but thought
you might be interested to know.

2) I suggest you provide an ImageJ update site (
http://imagej.net/Update_Sites) to ease installation for users.
See also: http://imagej.net/Distribution

3) I suggest you build your functionality on SciJava/ImageJ2. For example,
you have converters which go between ImageJ and OpenCV data structures. You
could do that using SciJava converters, and then everyone could seamlessly
annotate those types in their scripts in all supported scripting languages.
Here are some examples that do this for MATLAB matrices <-> ImageJ2
datasets:

*
https://github.com/imagej/imagej-matlab/blob/imagej-matlab-0.7.1/src/main/java/net/imagej/matlab/DatasetMATLABConverter.java
*
https://github.com/imagej/imagej-matlab/blob/imagej-matlab-0.7.1/src/main/java/net/imagej/matlab/MATLABDatasetConverter.java
*
https://github.com/imagej/imagej-matlab/blob/imagej-matlab-0.7.1/src/main/java/net/imagej/matlab/DefaultImageJMATLABService.java#L77-L196

4) I suggest you build your component with Maven, so that it is easier for
others to consume and build upon it.

Thanks for your work bridging these two excellent worlds!

Regards,
Curtis
