The following instructions for debugging Micro-Manager's Java code with NetBeans are intended to work on Windows or Mac. Updated for 2.0-gamma
(See also: Writing plugins for Micro-Manager)
- Download and install a recent Micro-Manager nightly build. We will refer to the installed Micro-Manager directory as
$INSTALLDIRbelow. - Use Subversion to download a copy of the latest Micro-Manager source. We'll refer to the root source directory as
$SRCDIRbelow. - Download, install and run NetBeans. The Java SE Bundle is sufficient if you already have the JDK (Java Development Kit) installed on your computer. Otherwise, download a JDK from AdoptOpenJDK . Micro-Manager is currently developed with JDK 8.
- Choose File > New Project... > [Categories] Java > [Projects] Java Project with Existing Sources. Press Next.
- Give your project a name. The Project Folder is best saved outside of the Micro-Manager source directory. Press Next.
- Under Source Package Folders, click Add Folder at right and browse to
$SRCDIR/mmstudio/src/main/java, as well as$SRCDIR/mmstudio/src/main/resources. If you want to develop a plugin, you can also add$SRCDIR/plugins/*/src/main/javaat this time. You can also add plugins later. Press Next. - Include all files (**). Press Finish.
- Right-click your project in the Projects tab (probably at left) and select Properties.
- Select Libraries under Categories. Make sure the Java Platform matches the version of Micro-Manager you are using (e.g., 64-bit JDK 1.8 - but using a newer Java Platform in NetBeans than the one shipped with Micro-Manager is usually okay).
- Under Compile > Compile-time Libraries, click Add Jar/Folder and add
$INSTALLDIR/ij.jar, as well as all jars in$INSTALLDIR/plugins/Micro-Managerexcept forMMJ_.jar. - Select Run under Categories. For the <default config>, set the following parameters:
- Main Class: type in
ij.ImageJ - Working Directory: type in your
$INSTALLDIR - VM options: for 64 bit systems, type in
-Xmx3000M, otherwise use-Xmx600M. This sets the maximum memory (megabytes) used by Java. If running Micro-Manager 2.0, you also need to supply-Dforce.annotation.index=true.
- Main Class: type in
- Click OK, and then right-click your project and choose Debug. If all is well, then Micro-Manager should launch inside ImageJ.
Note
The components from the installed Micro-Manager can get out of sync with the Subversion source. If you encounter unexpected errors, update to the latest nightly build and the latest source revision.
