Yes, the updater is part of the ImageJ2 project, upon which Fiji is built.

> Are ImageJ-users left alone?

ImageJ 1.x does not use the ImageJ Launcher component, which sets the
java.library.path as appropriate to handle platform-dependent libraries. So
in cases like this, using plain ImageJ 1.x is not the easiest path.

Curtis
