Problem running ShapeLogic

Why won't ShapeLogic run as a plug-in for ImageJ?

The problem is that there are several jar files that are needed for it to run. This is described on the Getting started page. 

          antlr-runtime-3.0.jar
          commons-collections-3.2.jar
          commons-jexl-1.1.jar
          commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
          commons-math-1.1.jar
          guice-1.0.jar

What version of Java JDK does ShapeLogic work with?

ShapeLogic is compiled with JDK version 1.6, but should work fine if compiled with JDK 1.5.

A version compiled with 1.5 might be released.

    Build

    What tools do I need to build ShapeLogic

    ShapeLogic is build using Maven 2.

    This makes several build tasks very easy, so this is the recommended way doing builds, but the code should run fine without Maven.

    Currently the project is set up to work directly with Eclipse 3.3, Java 1.6, but you can use: NetBeans, IntelliJ, JBuilder, emacs or vi.

    How do you build with Maven 2

    In order to do the following:

    1. runs the unit tests locally
    2. runs the unit tests locally, and if they passes it will create the jar file
    3. runs the unit tests locally and install ShapeLogic to local repository
    Call these commands. 
              mvn test
          mvn package
          mvn install

    ImageJ

    Does ShapeLogic work with other plug-ins for ImageJ?

  • ShapeLogic should work with other plug-ins.
  • ShapeLogic uses off the shelf open source libraries when possible.
  • ShapeLogic is a very lightweight framework.

    Does ShapeLogic work without ImageJ?

    Not now. But ShapeLogic is very loosely coupled to ImageJ, so abstracting the connection to ImageJ out should not be a big task.
