fast circuit simulator which is optimized for applications in power electronics.

If you would like to simply run the program, and without the intention to change, inspect
the sourcecode or to compile the program from scratch, you should probably download
the binary package, available at www.gecko-simulations.com instead of this sourcecode
package.

This software is published under the GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3),
written by Andreas Müsing, Andrija Stupar and Uwe Drofenik.

This project is written in the Java programming language. To run GeckoCIRCUITS,
a Java Runtime environment (version >= 1.6) has to be installed on your computer. 
For coding, you need the Java Development Kit (JKD version >= 1.6).

You are free to use any IDE for compiling the sources. However we recommend you to
use the Netbeans IDE, since the project with all settings an necessary files is
already done in Netbeans.
