Description

Having a `main` method in the example command that calls `final ImageJ ij = new ImageJ();` requires a dependency on `net.imagej:imagej`.

In order to help projects inheriting from this example to keep their dependency footprint minimal, we should maybe move that `main` method into a test class and make the `imagej` dependency test scope only.

What do others think of that idea? @ctrueden @etadobson @frauzufall ?

Research direction

Inspect the example command containing the main method and the Maven dependency declaration for net.imagej:imagej. Check how the command is built and run in tests, then confirm that the main entry point is test-scoped and the dependency is no longer required at runtime.
