Fixed a bug in the Structure plugin that caused NaN-eigenvalues in uniform regions.

Made the package compliant with Image5D version 1.1.7.
Added version checking of the ImageJ and ImageScience libraries.
Added a utility class and reorganized code to reduce code duplication in the package.
Added a plugin class that shows basic information about the package.

Reorganized the plugin button layouting in the panel.
The statistics plugin now works with all types of ROI (except line) selections.

The program is now distributed as a single jar-file to facilitate installation. Before installing the new version, you should delete all of the following files and folders of older versions (note that not all of these may have been present in all older versions, so please check carefully whether these indeed belong to your version of FeatureJ or to some other package):
```
   ImageJ
     |- FJOptions.dat        (file)
     |- plugins
           |- Basics         (folder)
           |- BasicsJ        (folder)
           |- FeatureJ       (folder)
           |- imagescience   (folder)
```
The Dialogs are now all based on ImageJ's GenericDialog. As a consequence, they can no longer be left open all the time. In order to still have quick access to the different plugins, a panel has been added which will stay open until the user closes it explicitly.
The interface of some dialogs has changed (see the online manual for details). This may require revision of some macros. Also note that all plugins are now fully macroable and that previous synchronization problems should have been solved.
The package is now fully 5D compatible. If Image5D is installed, result images with a size larger than 1 in the t- or ch-dimension are displayed in an Image5D window. If it is not installed, result images are displayed as usual.
Options are no longer stored in a separate file (FJOptions.dat) but in ImageJ's preferences file (IJ_Prefs.txt).

Minor organizational changes have been made to reduce repetition of code segments. In addition, the code has been adapted to work with a new version of my Basics package, which has been split into two packages: images and utilities.
Error messages are now displayed in a window with title "FeatureJ: Error" instead of the standard ImageJ message window.
When trying to run any of the plugins on RGB- or 8-bit color images, the user is now informed explicitly that the plugins only work with gray-scale images.

Improved the progress indication by lowering the priority of the threads in which the computations are carried out.

First release. The package is based on a new version of BasicsJ, which is included in the distribution but has been renamed "Basics" because of the absence of any ImageJ plugin classes. Note that TransformJ has been adapted accordingly. If you have TransformJ version 2.2 or earlier installed on your system, the best thing to do in order to avoid conflicts is to first remove the entire TransformJ and BasicsJ directories and then install the latest versions of FeatureJ and TransformJ.
