# ImageJ

ImageJ is [public domain] software for processing and analyzing scientific

images.

It is written in Java, which allows it to run on many different platforms.

For further information, see:

* The [ImageJ website], the primary home of this project.

* The [ImageJ wiki], a community-built knowledge base covering ImageJ and

  its derivatives and flavors, including [ImageJ2], [Fiji], and others.

* The [ImageJ mailing list] and [Image.sc Forum] for community support.

* The [Contributing] page of the ImageJ wiki for details on how to contribute.

## Using ImageJ as a dependency

To use ImageJ as a library in your [Maven] project, add the dependency:

```xml

  net.imagej

  ij

  1.53j

```

Where `1.53j` is the version of ImageJ you would like to use:

* Versions up to 1.48q are [in the SciJava Maven repository](https://maven.scijava.org/content/repositories/releases/net/imagej/ij/).

* Versions starting with 1.48r are [on Maven Central](https://search.maven.org/#search%7Cgav%7C1%7Cg%3A%22net.imagej%22%20AND%20a%3A%22ij%22).

* Be aware that versions prior to 1.53k may not identically match the

  corresponding release tags here in this repository.

## Building from source

### With Ant

The [Apache Ant] utility will compile and run ImageJ using the

`build.xml` file in this directory. There is a version of Ant at

    https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/download/tools/ant/ant.zip

set up to use the JVM distributed with the Windows version of ImageJ.

The README included in the ZIP archive has more information.

### With Maven

You can compile and run ImageJ using the [Maven] build tool:

| Command               | Action                                                                |

|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

| `mvn`                 | Compile and package ImageJ into a JAR file in the `target` directory. |

| `mvn -Pexec`          | Compile and then run ImageJ.                                          |

| `mvn javadoc:javadoc` | Generate the project Javadoc in the `target/apidocs` directory.       |
