- Java SDK - Includes the Java compiler.
- Apache Ant - for building distribution files.
- JFlex - to generate lexers used by several utilities.
- Better Template Engine - To compile the website documentation.
- com.Ostermiller.Syntax package - To color the HTML source code.
- Make - (optional in addition to ant) to automate the build. Consider "make", "make install", "make clean", "make build", and "make javadoc".
- Cygwin - to get Unix utilities (including make and CVS) for Windows.
