Software
An overview of software used to develop JIU.
Thanks to anyone participating in providing these software packages.
-
Sun's most recent JDK.
It is available with documentation from the J2SE download page.
The JDK also comes with javadoc, a tool to create API documentation.
It includes jar, a tool to create JAR archives from a set of class files.
-
The jikes compiler.
Now that I'm using Eclipse (see below) I no longer need jikes.
Eclipse comes with a built-in compiler of its own.
-
In August 2003 I switched to the free
IDE
Eclipse.
It comes with built-in CVS support, an integrated
debugger and various other features that make development easier.
-
The MikTeX package, a LaTeX distribution.
It's responsible for creating PDF, DVI and Postscript manual and API documentation files.
-
In order to generate test images for JIU codecs to read, and to check
if image files written by JIU codecs can be loaded elsewhere,
various programs are used, including the
Netpbm,
ACDSee (commercial, but worth the expense),
IrfanView,
ImageMagick's convert and others.
