This POM provides a parent from which SciJava-based projects can declare their build configurations. It ensures that projects all use a compatible build environment, as well as versions of dependencies and plugins. Projects extending this POM inherit the unified SciJava Bill of Materials: component versions which have been tested to work together.

This POM serves as the base for all Maven-based SciJava software, including:

Fiji	ImageJ2	ImgLib2	KNIME	LOCI	SCIFIO	SciJava	FLIMLib	Virtual Cell

This POM is intended for use as the parent of your own Maven-based code.

• ImageJ2 command template
• ImageJ 1.x plugin template
• ImageJ2 tutorials

The pom-scijava wiki contains articles on several topics:

• Adding a new project to the SciJava POM
• Addressing dependency clash
