3. IDE alternatives Eclipse http://www.eclipse.org/ NetBeans http://www.netbeans.org/ Both are free, have GUI-builder, debugger, CVS, mobility pack, can be used for Java and C/C++, can handle external compile/build/deploy such as ANT.

Both are platform independent and can be used on both Linux and Windows… Another useful application is ESS-model. http://essmodel.sourceforge.net/

5. CVS, Debugging, Testing CVS - What is it for? For CVS access at computing science contact support@cs.umu.se and simply ask for one (including the usernames that should have access, i.e. your group). Debugging stepping in/out, breakpoints, watchers, etc… Unit testing http://www.junit.org/
