Description (last modified by gharris) (diff)
In recent years a wealth of Java-based scripting languages have emerged (Clojure, Javascript, Groovy, Jython, JRuby, Jaskell, etc.). And starting with Java 6, Java includes a scripting framework for supporting these various languages. ImageJ has traditionally provided scripting through its macro language, but Fiji has added support for other means as well.
We are interested in improving this scripting support—specifically, coupling a redesigned Java API more directly with a scripting framework and ImageJ's macro recorder. This scheme makes it easier to develop scripts by providing more flexibility in how they can be written, as well as the potential to call into existing libraries written in those same scripting languages.
For related discussion, see the " Scripting languages and API" thread on the ImageJ mailing list.

Re-assigning to myself so I have a ticket, too :-)

Bumping to beta3 since we expect the Macro interpreter and the Script Editor to finished in that time frame, realistically.
This ticket is related to both undo history and event notification.
