X-Midas Users Take Note:
If you plan to run NeXtMidas as an option tree for X-Midas (NeXtOpt), you will need to have Java, a C/C++ compiler and a Fortran compiler installed. For details on the C/C++ and Fortran compiler requirements please see the X-Midas Release Notes.
Java Experts Take Note:
Since the release of Java 5, Java versions are commonly referred to by the middle digit of the version number. For example, Java 5 refers to Java version 1.5.0 and Java 6 refers to Java 1.6.0. The two names are used interchangeably, but "Java 5" is preferred over "Java 1.5.0" (a quick Google search will show more than a 6:1 preference for "Java 5" over "Java 1.5.0"). (This change only applies to Java 5 and later, it does NOT apply to Java 1.4.2.)
