+= Setting Up Your Computer for FRC Java Programming
+== 1. Install Java SE 8
+Make sure the correct version of Java SE 8 is installed. You will need the JDK (Java Software Development Kit); the current version is jdk1.8.0_25.
+
+The installation can be found at [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html Oracle's site]. Make sure to accept the license agreement, or it won't let you download.
+
+== 2. Install Eclipse Luna
+For best performance and to avoid compatibility errors, download the latest version of Eclipse for Java Developers, currently [https://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-and-dsl-developers/marsm4 Eclipse Luna].
+
+== 3. Install the Java FRC Plugins
+These plugins will allow you to be able to program the roboRIO.
+
+1. In Eclipse, select the Help menu in the top menu bar.
+2. Select {{{Install new software...}}}.
+3. In the site field, enter in
+{{{
+http://first.wpi.edu/FRC/roborio/release/eclipse/
+}}}
+4. In the menu below, check the box {{{Show only software applicable to target environment}}}.
+5. Then select only the Java Plugins and click {{{Next}}}.
+6. Accept all license agreements when they come up.
+7. Click {{{Install}}}.
+8. After installing, restart Eclipse. The plugins will continue to install when Eclipse starts back up. This is normal operation.
+
+== Install Subversive for Eclipse
+The programming teams for our team use subversion (SVN) for configuration management of code.
+1. In Eclipse, select the Help menu in the top menu bar.
+2. Select {{{Eclipse Marketplace...}}}.
+3. Search for "Subversive" without the quotes.
+4. Select {{{Subversive}}}.
+5. When prompted for SVN connectors, select the 1.8 version.
