A plugin helping with installing ImageJ 1.x plugins and dependencies. In ImageJ 1.x, .jar files containing an underscore are automatically scanned for classes whose names contain underscores. Every such class is considered to be a plugin. That is not true, however, for jai_codec.jar's classes. Therefore, Fiji introduced the split between plugins/ and jars/, where third-party libraries are expected to live in jars/. ImageJ2 uses the same structure since it is backwards compatible.

This Maven plugin is deprecated since the copy-jars goal has been migrated to scijava-maven-plugin. We have made sure to keep backward compatibility with imagej.* properties, but recommend to replace them with scijava.* properties when switching to scijava-maven-plugin.
If your project has at least pom-scijava:24.0.0 as parent, scijava-maven-plugin has been made the default Maven plugin for handling installation of SciJava and ImageJ plugins.
