I changed our POM file as follows. In the dependency management section I
added 

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
	<groupId>net.imagej</groupId>
	<artifactId>pom-imagej</artifactId>
	<version>6.0.0</version>
	<type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

and in the dependencies themselves I added all the artifacts you suggested.
I did not add any version information and in general it seems to work. There
was only one problem. We also use functionality from the loci.formats.gui.*
package which is not covered by the dependencies you listed above. I found
the packages that we need in 

<dependency>
   <groupId>ome</groupId>
   <artifactId>bioformats_package</artifactId>
   <version>5.0.4</version>
</dependency>

however, here I had to specify an explicit version. And if I understood you
right, this is again an uber-jar probably not the best choice to depend on.
Is the package loci.formats.gui.* somewhere else available, or what is the
best strategy to resolve these dependencies?

Sounds great, we will discuss that option soon.

Great, thanks! :-)

Kind regards,
