Once again, I have to caution against staying on the bleeding edge of 
3rd-party developments (and Java is very much a 3rd-party development). 
Unless the code compiles without problems in plain Oracle/Sun Java 6 (you 
did not say anything about that), I would recommend against using such 
experimental features: As far as I can tell, ImageJ2 is about a _stable_ 
development using _known_ best practices.

If you concentrate on unstable or experimental features, that will have an 
impact on your project as well.

Ciao,
