SciJava Common is a shared library for SciJava software. It provides a plugin framework, with an extensible mechanism for service discovery, backed by its own annotation processor, so that plugins can be loaded dynamically. It is used by downstream projects in the SciJava ecosystem, such as ImageJ and SCIFIO.

SCIFIO is a library for scientific N-dimensional image I/O.

Compatibility layer for using un-converted Bio-Formats readers in SCIFIO applications.

Pluggable command-line tools for performing SCIFIO-based image IO operations.
