[ImageJ-devel] importing custom "uncompressed" libraries (i.e., no JAR)

[Gaetano Impoco]

Hi Curtis,

I created a small example that requires my library (please, download it at
http://www.impoco.it/files/gijLib.jar)

-------------

import ij.*;
import ij.process.*;
import ij.plugin.filter.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import gijlib.binary.*;
import gijlib.geom.*;


public class Example_ implements PlugInFilter
{
  public int setup(String arg, ImagePlus imp)
  {
    return DOES_8G;
  }

  public void run(ImageProcessor ip)
  {
    ContourFollower cf = new ContourFollower(ip);
    if(cf.getNContours() != 1)
    {
      IJ.error("The input image should contain one and only one object!\nFound
"+cf.getNContours());
      return;
    }

    Point[] contour = cf.getContour(0);
    Point2D cHull[] = ConvexHull.grahamsScan(contour);

    Line2D  diam    = PolygonUtilities.computeDiameter(cHull);
    Line2D  odiam   = PolygonUtilities.computeOrthogonalDiameter(cHull, diam);
    OrientedRectangle obbox = PolygonUtilities.computeBoundingRect(diam, odiam);
  }

}

-------------

When I put gijLib.jar in the "jars" directory and compile this class using the
--javac option of the ij2 launcher, everything is ok. When I uncompress the JAR
file into the "jars" directory, the compiler cannot find the classes in the
library.

Moreover, if I try to run a plugin that includes a class in the same directory
(but not using packages) the compiler fails, as well. I avoid this problem
using the option --class-path $HOME/Fiji.app/jars/

Hope I gave enough information.

Thank you
Gaetano
