Hi, In a new thread because it's a broad but different issue than the others: How to move an active ImageJ1 plugin project to an ImageJ2 project?
The scenario: I have an active ImageJ1 plugin project, which I want to move to Image2. The old plugin needs to stay active with bugfixes and for archival reasons. Currently, releases are tracked on the master branch of a Git repository, the IDE is Eclipse and Ant is the builder. I'd like to keep the whole project (IJ1 and IJ2 plugins) in the same Git repository. The plan at the moment is to: Keep releasing the old plugin on the master branch Work on the new plugin on a version branch When the new plugin is stable, send the old plugin to a legacy branch and merge the new plugin to master Because the two plugins use different build systems, I've set them up as two separate Eclipse projects, one with the old style (Ant, plugins.config) and one with the new style (Maven, annotations). The two projects work on different branches of the same Git repository, so I can work on both of them simultaneously in the same instance of Eclipse. To do that I branched the new plugin off, cloned it locally into a new Eclipse project (Import...) then 'Mavenized' the new project. The pom.xml-related chatter from me lately has been a result of this process. The new branch has the old directory structure: workspace/src/org/bonej/MyPlugin.java but Maven expects something else by convention. The big question is, is this going to work at all or should I start again in a different way? I am asking all this because processing of annotations doesn't work in my setup, so the new plugin's menu items aren't added to ImageJ2 (solution is to use the Ant build.xml and Sun javac to do the release build, as we developed at the last Fiji Hackathon). Do you see any disasters looming, or propose another streamlined approach that will work? Maven is impressive so far, so I'd like to continue with it, I just have to organise things so that it behaves correctly.
