Hi I am now packaging an ImageJ plugin that uses maven as build system. For that, it makes use of the ij.jar in Maven Central and the related pom.xml file which is part of ImageJA [1]. In addition, the plugin is a Java library on its own right and as such has its javadocs which are dependent on the imagej javadocs which are not currently packaged.
I am fixing both of those issues on the debian imagej package but this would be made simpler if the package was updated first. Could you please update it for the latest (1.51p)? No need to actually upload the new version. More details on why: I have asked pkg-java on how to best to handle the issue of the pom.xml and was told to simply download the pom file from ImageJA and include it on the debian directory and then install it with maven-repo-helper. I have accomplished that [2] but had to fudge it because for some reason ImageJA skipped the version 1.51i [3] which is the one currently packaged in Debian. I would prefer not have to fudge anything. I managed to change the imagej package to also build the imagej javadocs and have an extra libimagej-java-docs package for it. However, this currently fails due to a bug on ImageJ which I believed is fixed on later releases. Maybe this is the reason why ImageJA skipped version 1.51i since they also release javadocs. --- Since I would be adding a libimagej-java-doc packages, maybe it would make sense to have the pair libimagej-java? The lib package would just package /use/share/java/ij.jar while the imagej package would have the actual ImageJ program.
