Development Environment¶

Below is information regarding what you'll need if you want to modify or develop NSIA. You can use whatever IDE you like, or you can use a preconfigured instance of Eclipse.

Compiler Requirements¶

NSIA requires Java JDK 6 (1.6) in order to compile successfully. It will not compile on earlier versions of Java (including Java 1.5).
