Development And Contributing Instructions

Making a new release

To create a new release, clone the scijava-scripts repo (e.g. in /opt/imagej/) and run the release-version.sh helper:

BASE_DIR=/opt/imagej
mkdir -pv "$BASE_DIR"
cd "$BASE_DIR"
git clone https://github.com/scijava/scijava-scripts
cd -

RELEASE_SCRIPT="$BASE_DIR/scijava-scripts/release-version.sh"

$RELEASE_SCRIPT --skip-push --skip-gpg --skip-license-update

Build & Deploy using Visual Studio Code

Building and deploying the package can be greatly simplified using "tasks" in Visual Studio Code. By adding the following settings to the .vscode/tasks.json file, you can simply press Ctrl+Shift+B in VS Code and select the deploy task for running Maven and have the resulting JAR file being placed in /opt/fiji-packaging/Fiji.app/jars/ (adjust to your path as necessary):

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "verify",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "mvn -B verify",
            "group": "build"
        },
        {
            "label": "test",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "mvn -B test",
            "group": "test"
        },
        {
            "label": "deploy",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "mvn -Dscijava.app.directory=/opt/fiji-packaging/Fiji.app",
            "group": {
                "kind": "build",
                "isDefault": true
            },
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}
