For development in the contest, we will provide the gcc compiler (version 3.4.5) and gdb debugger (version 5.2.1) from the MinGW environment, and javac and java from the Java Development Kit Standard Edition Version 5.0. These are the tools used by the PC^2 environment.
NEW !!! We will provide Eclipse 3.2.1 as an IDE, including C/C++ version 3.1.1 plugin. This IDE includes the compiler versions mentioned above.
We will also provide 2 other IDEs:

Contestants who chose to use these IDEs must be aware, however, that submitted code MUST compile correctly with gcc or with javac!
