fiji plugin : imgOpener exception (scifio class)

Question

I'm using Fiji for the first time, I need to open an image as a FloatType so I followed the example found here http://fiji.sc/wiki/index.php/ImgLib2_Examples#Example_1b_-_Opening_an_ImgLib2_image but I get this error:

WARN: Ignoring non-Maven build directory: /home/utente/workspace/my_project/bin

at Plugin.SGP_deblurring_boundary.main(SGP_deblurring_boundary.java:58)

Can't undertand why I get this error, any ideas?

Thanks,

Answer 1

It is almost certainly a build path issue in Eclipse. Are you using the M2E plugin to manage your projects?

If you are not, or aren't sure, please follow the directions on the Fiji web site at:

• http://fiji.sc/Developing_ImgLib2#Developing_ImgLib2_with_Eclipse

I would strongly suggest not to manually juggle JAR files in non-Maven Eclipse projects. The Eclipse Maven integration will make your life much easier. For more details, see:

• http://fiji.sc/Maven

I've solved importing the ImgOpener class from imglib2.io

Please note that imglib2-io no longer exists; the up-to-date way to access the ImgOpener is to use the io.scif:scifio library instead. If you are basing your work off of the ImgLib2 Examples, please note that you can grab the source from GitHub, which includes a Maven POM with the correct dependencies specified. Start from there, or from the minimal-ij1-plugin project if you need to use ImageJ 1.x routines as well.
