Upgrading from previous versions

1. In your source code, edit all JAITools and Jiffle import statements and add the org.prefix. For example:

   import jaitools.imageutils.ROIGeometry;

   becomes...

   import org.jaitools.imageutils.ROIGeometry;

2. If use you Maven as your build tool, edit your project pom.xml file and change the groupId for all JAITools and Jiffle modules from com.googlecode.jaitools to org.jaitools. For example, the dependency for the jt-utils module will now look like this...

   <dependency>
   <groupId>org.jaitools</groupId>
   <artifactId>jt-utils</artifactId>
   <version>1.2.0</version>
   </dependency>

Coming up next
The wiki on the JAITools Google Code site is sadly out of date, so the next item on the todo list is to replace it with Sphinx-based documentation at jaitools.org.

Meanwhile please try the new versions and give us your feedback via the mailing list or by tweeting to @JAITools.

Share and enjoy.
