      <h3>What is needed to run the CUTE Eclipse Plug-in?</h3>
      <p>The CUTE Eclipse plug-in depends on the following software:
        <ul>
          <li><a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Install_a_JVM" target="_blank">Java JRE</a></li>
          <li><a href="https://www.eclipse.org/" target="_blank">Eclipse IDE</a> with installed <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/" target="_blank">Eclipse C/C++ Development Tooling</a>. Either download CDT combined with Eclipse ("Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" from the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/" target="_blank">Eclipse Download Page</a>) or install into any Eclipse from the CDT updatesite (https://download.eclipse.org/releases/&lt;Eclipse_Releasename&gt;/).</a></li>
          <li>Boost C++ Libraries (pre C++11): Install <a href="https://www.boost.org/" target="_blank">Boost C++ Libaries</a> on your system or use the Boost Headers provided with the CUTE plug-in. Since C++11, Boost is no longer needed.</li>
          <li>For CDT to be able to compile, you will also need to have an <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ#Does_CDT_include_a_compiler.3F" target="_blank">Eclipse compatible C++ compiler</a> installed.</li>
        </ul>
