| | |
| * Java SE Runtime Environment ('''JRE''') or Java Development Kit ('''JDK'''). Version 1.6 or higher is needed. You can either [http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/?intcmp=1281 download it here] or use the JRE bundled with an installed version of MIPAV.
| |
| * Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. The current version is recommended. [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Download here]

| | |
| == Code Conventions ==
| |
| | |
| MIPAV code is written in Java and conforms to many of the standard Java code conventions. In addition, here are some things you can set Eclipse to do:

| *Insert spaces when the Tab key is pressed.
