Dependency Deprecation Pattern
Experiment Overview
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Date | 2025-12-11 |
| Goal | Remove Java/Maven/FIJI/CLIJ2 dependencies from KINTSUGI while maintaining backward compatibility |
| Environment | Python 3.10+, cross-platform (Windows/Linux/macOS) |
| Status | Success |
Context
KINTSUGI originally depended on Java/Maven for PyImageJ and CLIJ2 GPU processing. This created installation friction and cross-platform issues. The goal was to replace these with pure Python implementations (CuPy/NumPy) while allowing legacy users to continue using Java if needed.
