Please note that the update site has changed (due to a cert. problem with on sourceforge) to:

https://bio7.github.io/imagej/

Uninstall the old plugins before you install from the new location!

1. Updated ImageJ to 1.51k.

2. Reworked the ImageJ plugin view menus. Now all Imagej menus and nested submenus are displayed correctly!

3. Added a menu switch (menu 'Window') to open images in a Swing in JavaFX in SWT tab (future replacement for SWT_AWT). Images can subsequently be opened in fullscreen with: F1 = primary monitor true fullscreen, F2 = primary monitor fullscreen, F3 = secondary monitor fullscreen, F4 = tertiary monitor fullscreen, F5 = quartary monitor fullscreen.

4. Plugins, scripts and macros are now displayed in their defined menus or submenus.

5. All ImageJ Menus are updated dynamically to recognize copied scripts and macros instantly.

6. Added two preferences to define the install location of plugins and macros.

7. Improved plugin compatibility by going back to AWT in some dialogs.

Important for MacOSX : Please add the option -Dprism.order=sw in the Eclipse.ini to avoid a crash when using JavaFX!

Important for Linux : Please add the option --launcher.GTK_version 2 (don't forget the linebreak before the version number) in the Eclipse.ini to avoid a crash when using JavaFX (JavaFX doesn't run with GTK3 on Linux)!

Add the following URL as update site:

https://bio7.github.io/imagej/

The important views to open are the ImageJ-Canvas which essentially implements the ImageJ interface and the toolbar. You find them in Eclipse under: Window->Show View->Other. First open the ImageJ-Canvas!

Window->Show View->Other->ImageJ->ImageJ-Canvas (ImageJ panel and menu)

Window->Show View->Other->ImageJ->ImageJ-Toolbar (ImageJ toolbar)

The ImageJ toolbar can also be opened in the ImageJ-Canvas (ImageJ 'Window' menu).

There is also a self-created thumbnails browser (not speed optimized) for ImageJ default formats included (Thumbnails):

Window->Show View->Other->ImageJ Extra->Thumbnails

Ignore the 'Image' view in the same section which is used to show a detached image (opened with a mouse right-click on a image tab).

Preferences can be found under "Preferences ImageJ".

Plugins can be installed in the ImageJ plugins folder (see the plugin folder inside of the Eclipse ImageJ plugin). They will be added to the plugin menu automatically.

A right-click on an image tab will open the displayed image in an extra view for, e.g., side by side views (x,y,z views). They must be closed separately.

Fullscreen in default SWT_AWT mode is supported for the primary monitor (Press F2 to open and Esc to abort).

Drag and drop of images and plugins should work, too (Drag them on the view or the ImageJ toolbar to open or install!)

Open the ImageJ perspective (Window->Perspective->Open perspective->Other->ImageJ Edit - or use the toolbar action).

To create an ImageJ macro first create a general eclipse project (File->New->Project->General Project - Other Project types are allowed, too!) and then create an ImageJ macro in the project folder (New->Other->ImageJ->ImageJ Macro File).

The ImageJ toolbar can be opened in the ImageJ-Canvas view menu (Window->ImageJ-Toolbar)

Images can be dropped in a folder of Eclipse and can be opened from within Eclipse (special image icon available when image extension is detected) in the Eclipse ImageJ view. Unknown image formats (default extensions are used only) can be opened with (Open with->Other->ImageJ Image Editor) or simply by a drag and drop action.

1. Insert text at selected line from Macro Recorder: (CTRL+SHIFT+R or CMD+SHIFT+R)
2. Debug (CTRL+D or CMD+D)
3. Debug Abort (CTRL+X or CMD+X)
4. Debug Step (CTRL+E or CMD+E)
5. Debug Trace (CTRL+T or CMD+T)
6. Debug Run To (CTRL+SHIFT+E or CMD+SHIFT+E)
7. Debug Run To Completion (CTRL+SHIFT+X or CMD+SHIFT+X)
8. Evaluate Line (CTRL+Y or CMD+Y)

To increase the fonts on MacOSX in Eclipse globally add the following lines to the default MacOSX theme css file in Eclipse (/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_xxx/css/e4_default_mac.css or /Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_xxx/css/e4-dark_mac.css):

For the default CSS (the color attribute is for the text color!):

{ 
	color:  #000000; 
	font-size: 14px;      
}

For the dark CSS:

{ 	      
	font-size: 14px;      
}

For a fine control of the general font size of Eclipse and MacOSX in general use the Tinker software available here:

https://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool-de.html

Finer control (two steps):

To increase the fonts on MacOSX delete the argument (twice available) in the Eclipse.ini file (Contents/Eclipse/eclipse.ini - see: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini -):

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

To increase only the ImageJ and Thumbnails view menus font add the following lines to the default MacOSX theme css file in Eclipse (/Contents/Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.ui.themes_xxx/css/e4_default_mac.css):

#com-eco-bio7-imagej.MToolBar {   
	font-size: 14px;
}

#com-eco-bio7-thumbnails.MToolBar {   
	font-size: 14px;		
}

Swing fonts on Retina displays (if necessary):

To decrease oversized Swing fonts on Retina displays go to the ImageJ preferences (Preferences ImageJ->Font Correction) and add a negative value (-8 works as a good correction)
