IDE decisions depend on personal taste... on Windows people usually use the CMake Visual Studio generator and use either Visual Studio 2008 or 2010 (2012 is know to have issues). QtCreator with nmake (no parallel builds), jom, or ninja and the Microsoft compiler and debugger should also work but is not officially tested/supported by the MITK team. For setting up your environment, please read http://docs.mitk.org/nightly-qt4/BuildInstructionsPage.html > * Do we need the complete code of MITK or is it possible to just attach > the new plugins to the installed MITK version ? As stated here http://www.mitk.org/Download the available binary downloads cannot be used as a SDK. To develop with MITK, you need to build it. However, after building MITK your own plug-ins/modules are usually developed in a separate project using MITK as an external dependency. Unless you need very recent code fixes, I suggest to use the sources from the latest release (either checking out the appropriate git tag or downloading the source tarball) linked from the page above.
