OME (Open Microscopy Environment) develops open-source software and data format standards for the storage and manipulation of biological light microscopy data. A joint project between universities, research establishments and industry in Europe and the USA, OME has over 20 active researchers with strong links to the microscopy community. Funded by private and public research grants, OME has been a major force on the international microscopy stage since 2000.
From an historical lookup, this JAR was used up to the OMERO 4.4.x series to ship some importer code. Since OMERO 5.x, this is a shallow JAR only containing a manifest and a readme.
Primarily driven by the review of the server dependencies and licenses as I could not figure out what this dependency was related to. The removal should have no functional impact since the JAR contains no code and there are other mechanisms described in the documentation to extend the OMERO.server with new services.
