This page is about how to develop the Mifos platform.
- Install Eclipse JEE Galileo Helios http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (the older Ganymede also works)
- Install Java 6 for your platform
- Use Eclipse Preferences to configure Eclipse to use Java 6 by default. Note that this must be a 32-bit build, not a 64-bit build.
- If you use a Mac, see Mifos Mac OS X Install
- Install Maven 2.0.9 or greater
- 2.0.9 is required due to Maven bug MNG-2923 (noted fixed in 2.0.7, but actually fixed in 2.0.9)
