Thank you for your guidance.
I have no pressing need - just my usual "self-improvement" to add tools to my toolbox.
For serious use, I'm perfectly happy with Java as both a way to control ImageJ and as a generic programming language in which to do incidental image processing.
I am exploring the use of Python3 and Jupyter notebooks for other projects, and thought it would be worthwhile to find out how to include image processing in that environment.
Your links were very helpful - but...since I am not using Anaconda, the installation process for adding in ImageJ looked as if it might take a bit more time and attention than I have at the moment. When I have a chance, I'll check back and try again. Your notes indicate that you are working on streamlining the process - that would be welcome.
It may also be that I will be convinced to transition to Anaconda - but right now that would interfere with projects that are on deadline. On my first encounter with Anaconda, I was put off by its apparent desire to alter my environment in a way that was incompatible with other work. I didn't have the time to sort this out, so I backed out of Anaconda and am proceeding happily with Python3 and pip3.
Similarly, I need to be cautious about updating Java on my development environment - to make sure I don't inadvertently cause problems for my users. So...the apparent need to switch to OpenJDK and Java 8 were slightly off-putting. Nothing I can't iron out given enough free time - but not something I can do this month.
Not to mention fighting the "update to Catalina" woes.
When I return to this, I'm hoping that there is a path that involves only "brew" and "pip3" to get basic functionality working.
The fewer dependencies there are, the more likely it is that I'll be able to do it.
But, again - thank you very much for your replies. They are most helpful.
