Unfortunately, macro functions do not always have a direct corollary in the
Java/scripting API.

What you can do is read the code which defines how the macro language
functions work. In the case of getMetadata, it is here:


https://github.com/imagej/ImageJA/blob/v1.51k/src/main/java/ij/macro/Functions.java#L3715-L3740

In this case, we can see several calls which might do the trick for you:

  metadata = imp.getProperty("Label");
  metadata = imp.getProperty("Info");
  metadata = imp.getStack().getSliceLabel(imp.getCurrentSlice());

Regards,
Curtis
