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.

/**
* Interface for convenience classes that wrap a {@link Context} to provide
* one-line access to a suite of {@link Service}s.
*
* The {@link #get} methods provide consistent {@link Service} instantiation,
* while throwing {@link NoSuchServiceException} if the requested
* {@link Service} is not found.
*
* Sample implementation
*
* Let's say we have a {@code Kraken} service and a {@code Cow} service. Using
* the {@code Context} directly, the code would look like:
*
*
* Context context = new Context();
* context.getService(Cow.class).feedToKraken();
* context.getService(Kraken.class).burp();
*
* To perform these actions, you have to know a priori to ask for a
* {@code Cow} and a {@code Kraken}; i.e., your IDE's code completion will not
* give you a hint. Further, if either service is unavailable, a
* {@link NullPointerException} is thrown.
*
*
* But if we create a {@code Gateway} class called {@code Animals} with the
* following signatures:
*
*
* public Cow cow() { return get(Cow.class); }
* public Kraken kraken() { return get(Kraken.class); }
*
* We can now access our services through the new {@code Animals} gateway:
*
*
* Animals animals = new Animals();
* animals.cow().feedToKraken();
* animals.kraken().burp();
*
* This provides succinct yet explicit access to the {@code Cow} and
* {@code Kraken} services; it is a simple two-layer access to functionality,
* which an IDE can auto-complete. And if one of the services is not available,
* a {@link NoSuchServiceException} is thrown, which facilitates appropriate
* (but optional) handling of missing services.
*
*
* Gateways discoverable at runtime must implement this interface and be
* annotated with @{@link Gateway} with attribute {@link Plugin#type()} =
* {@link Gateway}.class. While it possible to create a gateway merely by
* implementing this interface, it is encouraged to instead extend
* {@link AbstractGateway}, for convenience.
