I might be misunderstanding the no.ice setting, but in order to build
the OmeroImporter project in Eclipse I first need to run the withtools
task (i.e. java omero build dist withtools). Even with the no.ice
setting, the withtools task spends a long time building cpp files which
I don't need for OmeroImporter. But like I say, this isn't a problem
because it only needs to be run once.

Thanks. I've checked out revision 3935 of the LOCI version of
bio-formats, and applied your patch. It failed to compile until I added
a no-op setChannelGlobalMinMax(...) to:

loci.formats.meta.AggregateMetadata
loci.formats.ome.OMEXML2003FCMetadata
loci.formats.ome.OMEXML200706Metadata

Anyway, I then made my changes, built it and replaced
lib/repository/bio-formats-r3935-patched.jar. It works fine so far.

Thanks again for your help,

Mark.
