Fiji (Fiji Is Just ImageJ)[1] is an image processing package based on ImageJ.
For users, Fiji is easy to install and update, bundles a set of plugins in a coherent menu structure (easy to update), bundles a Java runtime and Java3D, and has a lot of comprehensive documentation.
For developers, Fiji has these benefits: it comes with the complete source, it is properly version controlled, it bundles a lot of useful libraries and it has a comprehensive build system.

Introduction
Many plugins exist for ImageJ, with a wide range of applications, but also a wide range of quality.
Further, some plugins require specific versions of ImageJ, some require specific versions of third-party libraries, and some require additional Java components such as the Java compiler or Java3D.
Fiji provides a convenient way to install it all.
Audience
While Fiji was originally intended for neuro-scientists, it accumulated enough functionality to attract scientists from a variety of fields, such as cell biology[2], parasitology[3], genetics, material science, etc.
Development
Fiji is fully Open Source; its sources live in a Git repository (see the homepage for details).
Fiji was accepted as organization into the Google Summer of Code 2009, and completed two projects.
Supported platforms
Fiji runs on Windows, Linux and MacOSX, Intel 32-bit or 64-bit (not yet Itanium), with limited support for MacOSX/PPC.
