Merge functionality upstream?

[ctrueden]

Hi @NicoKiaru—just wondering if you think it might be possible to get all of this functionality into scijava-common as a new org.scijava.python package. Everything here in src/main depends on scijava-common only; only uses of ImageJ/ImageJ2 are in src/test. Happy to do this if it makes people's lives (esp. yours) easier!

Sure! I thought to put here because it's experimental but if you think that's good enough, let's move it, no problem.

I'm not very sure about the quality of its structure - things can probably be done differently, but it works.
It could live in a branch in org.scijava while waiting for some potential users feedback, after a few use cases have been tried.

There is one part which is however more the python side of it : the ScijavaCommand decorator defined in the notebook
Where do you think it should live ? Somewhere which can be shared easily with python people ? In PyPI (I have no clue) ? Or should be include it in every notebook that needs it (probably not) ?

One last point, the java side of this repo just provides a 'builderway of defining a scijava Command. Since it's used for Python, we can let the names as suchPyCommandInfo, etc. But we could also rename them something like BuiltCommandInfo`, etc, in case it becomes useful also in Java.

If everything goes well, I think I'll need it 'for real' in a few months.
