[ImageJ-devel] Displaying into Swing/JFrame

The ImageJ2 API is built to be UI agnostic, so you can use it with Swing,
SWT, or any other widget toolkit of your choice.

The class ij.ImageJ is part of ImageJ1. More generally: package prefix ij
corresponds to IJ1, whereas package prefixes net.imagej and org.scijava
correspond to ImageJ2. The ImageJ1 classes are written to use Java AWT, and
have many limitations when it comes to their use with other toolkits and
environments.

There is not a lot of explicit documentation about the structure yet. The
closest is this page:

* http://imagej.net/Modularity

Which is not very fleshed out.

If you are more specific about what you are trying to achieve, and can
share some code, that would help in giving you more concrete suggestions
about how to proceed.
