Java 6 is required but it seems to run fine on Java 7. The move to Java 7 will come in Q1 of 2012, so that more people can move to 7 before we require it.
You will need the guava-r09.jar from Google. ArrayListMultimap is the only class used from that jar file, so we may consider finding a replacement. We may be using guava-r10.jar by the time you read this.
You do not need any specific editor or IDE to work with Avian Computing UNLESS you want to work with the Aviary, the GUI front end/launcher for the project. The GUI is built using NetBeans, so we're pretty much tied to that tool for working with the GUI. I haven't tried it, but I believe that you could javac the project using the command line or Ant if that is your preferred development environment.
