The problem with this solution you suggested is that it does not work in 
Eclipse:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid service: 
net.imagej.legacy.DefaultLegacyService

As much as I understand the need for the runtime service discovery used by the 
scijava stack, there are certainly downsides to it.
My feeling is that in some ways it undermines the advantages that we have 
gained by switching to maven.
I can import a maven project into my Eclipse, and all the dependencies are 
there, explicitly and automatically, which is really very convenient.
Except now all dependencies are not there anymore because now there are 
non-obvious (to me) implicit runtime dependencies.
I find this unfortunate.

That being said, I found a solution that works for now, both in Eclipse and in 
Fiji
    final ImgOpener opener = new ImgOpener( new Context( SCIFIOService.class, 
AppService.class, StatusService.class ) );
This avoids requiring the net.imagej.legacy.LegacyAppEventService.
It seems to work, but I’m not sure: Are there any downsides to that?

best regards,
Tobias
