Set up ImageJ distribution for AMPT #56

Closed APatrickJ closed 2 years ago

APatrickJ commented 3 years ago

Today, AMPT releases are done via GitHub. This requires users to download the .jar file from GitHub and install it manually through ImageJ.

This mechanism can be replaced by distributing the plugin using one of ImageJ's standard processes:

https://imagej.net/contribute/distributing

There are two options:

  1. Create a personal update site (hosted on sites.imagej.net).
  2. Distribute as part of Fiji.

After discussing with @palbee, we agreed to go with Option (1). We don't need to distribute AMPT as part of the standard out-of-the-box installation of Fiji because it's a fairly niche tool. Using this mechanism will give us full control over updates, in other words we won't depend on a Fiji maintainer to upload new versions for us.
