The <artifact> of the project is already changed in line 15:



The problem lies between lines 27 and 32.  Should I delete those?

Well, it magically updates with the errors if I change line 29 from APC_ to A_Postcard, but yesterday I got odd errors which magically went away when I restarted Netbeans.

These errors do not occur with the pom.xml as shown above, and the project runs with Netbeans debug or run, but again, nothing appears under the ImageJ plugins menu, even though there are several classes with underscores in their names.  Also, in the Files>target (which is grayed out) the classes contain both class and java files and there are two jar files, A_Postcard-0.1.0.jar and Process_Pixels-1.0.0.jar.  The A_Postcard contains a small test class that just says, "It works!" when run, and I deleted that file right after I setup and tested my new project, so clearly that A_Postcard-0.1.0.jar file is a residue from when I first set up the project yesterday.

I don't know either.  Should I remove lines 27 through 32, i.e.,

	 <dependency>
	  <groupId>sc.fiji</groupId>
	  <artifactId>APC_</artifactId>
	  <version>1.0.0</version>
	  <type>jar</type>
	 </dependency>

Removing it gives me the org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout errors again, and adding the dependencies

> <dependency>
>   <groupId>org.swinglabs</groupId>
>   <artifactId>swing-layout</artifactId>
>   <version>1.0.3</version>
> </dependency>

does not get rid of the errors.  The errors go away only if I replace the lines to the screenshot above.

OK, I read it and am trying to understand how it relates to my problem...
