> The way the JavaFX launcher works is that it picks up any JVM settings from the Java Preferences API at launch time. And all arguments passed on the CLI go straight to the main method args. So we will be updating ImageJ2 over the summer to process args on the Java side that were previously handled by the launcher, including -Dfoo style system property settings (since in most cases it is fine to set them early in the application startup). Of course, not all args will be possible to support this way—e.g. max heap size (but see below).<br>
><br>
> Unfortunately, the current JavaFX launcher does not yet have a means to dynamically pass JVM args to Java itself. I have an SO issue posted about it [1] as well as a bug report in to Oracle (still under review; no public URL yet). Maybe the JavaFX team will add a way, since this packaging mechanism is being actively maintained and developed. But really it is not that urgent, since you can run "java -Dplugins.dir=... -jar ImageJ.jar" or whatever from the CLI as a developer. I.e.: the native launchers maybe do not need those features. Regardless, we will also add shell scripts to make common workflows (e.g., remote debugging) as simple as possible.<br>
><br>
> From a user standpoint, for things like max heap size, there is a nice UserJvmOptionsService API [2] that we will use to expose common JVM settings in an options dialog box. It lets you set arbitrary arguments to pass to java (stored via the Java Preferences API) which take effect the next time the application is launched.<br>

The first time you run Maven it downloads many things, but they all get cached into ~/.m2/repository, so subsequent builds are much more reasonable. It looks like you had a connectivity-related error, which can probably be resolved simply by running "mvn" again, or perhaps "mvn -U" to force an update.<br>

There should be .dmg and a .pkg installers, which including a Java 8 runtime embedded (in the ImageJ.app/Contents/PlugIns/Java.runtime folder internally). There should also be an ImageJ.app in there. There is also a double-clickable ImageJ.jar in the target/jfx/app folder (with empty lib/ folder since ImageJ 1.x has no dependencies), as well another set of installers that do _not_ include the JRE in the target/jfx/native-nojre folder.<br>
