This is only valid for the old f2f version. For newer developments look at the documentation at http://f2f.ulno.net/development

Requirements

• jdk-6 (jdk-5 is not possible because we are using couple of methods from jdk-6)
• Eclipse >= 3.2

it is possible that we relax requirements to jdk-5 later
