[ImageJ-devel] error: Unrecognized command: "Versatile Wand"

Hi Chris,

If you decide to do this, here is the page explaining how:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

But you may want to read a bit more about Maven in general, too. Sonatype
has a great book; here is the relevant chapter on dependencies:

Regards,
Curtis
