Backward compatibility is one of the ImageJDev project's most important goals. It must remain possible to use existing plugins and macros with the new version of ImageJ.
We have created an architecture that achieves 100% backward compatibility with the previous version of ImageJ, by embedding it as a library to run legacy plugins and macros.
The approach is described in the ImageJDev talk we gave at the ImageJ 2010 Conference.
