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.

There is a newer version: 2.99.0

/**
 * Abstract superclass for {@link Converter} plugins. Performs appropriate
 * dispatching of {@link #canConvert(ConversionRequest)} and
 * {@link #convert(ConversionRequest)} calls based on the actual state of the
 * given {@link ConversionRequest}.
 * 
 * Note that the {@link #supports(ConversionRequest)} method is overridden as
 * well, to delegate to the appropriate {@link #canConvert}.
 * 
 * 
 * NB: by default, the {@link #populateInputCandidates(Collection)} method has a
 * dummy implementation. Effectively, this is opt-in behavior. If a converter
 * implementation would like to suggest candidates for conversion, this method
 * can be overridden.
 * 
 * 
 * NB: by default, the provied {@link #canConvert} methods will return
 * {@code false} if the input is {@code null}. This allows {@link Converter}
 * implementors to assume any input is non-{@code null} - but this behavior is
 * overridden. Casting {@code null Object} inputs is handled by the
 * {@link NullConverter}, while {@code null class} inputs are handled by the
 * {@link DefaultConverter}.
