public class SciJava
extends AbstractGateway

Main entry point into SciJava. This class enables working with SciJava services in a simple way, while retaining extensibility (i.e., access to third-party services).

Constructor Detail

SciJava

public SciJava()

Creates a new SciJava application context with all available services.

SciJava

public SciJava(boolean empty)

Creates a new Scijava application context.

Parameters:

empty - If true, the context will be empty; otherwise, it will be initialized with all available services.

SciJava

public SciJava(Class... serviceClasses)

Creates a new SciJava application context with the specified services (and any required service dependencies).

Developer's note: This constructor's argument is raw (i.e., Class... instead of Class<? extends Service>...) because otherwise, downstream invocations (e.g., new SciJava(LogService.class)) yield the potentially confusing warning:

Type safety: A generic array of Class is created for a varargs parameter

To avoid this, we have opted to use raw types and suppress the relevant warning here instead.

Parameters:

serviceClasses - A list of types that implement the Service interface (e.g., LogService.class).

Throws:

ClassCastException - If any of the given arguments do not implement the Service interface.

SciJava

public SciJava(Collection<Class<? extends Service>> serviceClasses)

Creates a new SciJava application context with the specified services (and any required service dependencies).

Parameters:

serviceClasses - A collection of types that implement the Service interface (e.g., LogService.class).

SciJava

public SciJava(Context context)

Creates a new SciJava application context which wraps the given existing SciJava context.
