The application Bio7 is an integrated development environment for ecological modelling with a main focus on individual based modelling and spatially explicit models.
The application itself is based on an RCP-Eclipse-Environment (Rich-Client-Platform) which offers a huge flexibility in configuration and extensibility because of its plug-in structure and the possibility of customization.

Features:

Creation and analysis of spatial explicit simulation models.
Statistical analysis (R).
Spatial statistics (possibility to send values from a specialized panel to R).
Image Analysis (embedded ImageJ).
Fast communication between R and Java (with RServe) and
the possibilty to use R methods inside Java.
Interpretation of Java and script creation (with BeanShell).
Direct compilation of Java (Janino).
Creation of methods for Java, BeanShell, Groovy and R
(integrated editors for Java, R, BeanShell, Groovy).
Sensitivity analysis with an embedded flowchart editor in which
scripts, macros and compiled code can be dragged and executed.
Creation of 3d OpenGL (Jogl) models.
Visualizations and simulations on an embedded 3d globe
(World Wind Java SDK).
