 ====== Neptus tips and tricks ======
 ===== Compiling Neptus in *buntu linux systems =====
-The Neptus Wiki describes how to do this, but it does not work for *buntu linux systems. The problem is that Neptus wants Java runtime 8, while ubuntu automatically chooses Java runtime 11.

+  * Install requirements
+  sudo apt-get install git openjdk-8-jdk ant
+  * Clone Neptus github repository
+  git clone https://github.com/LSTS/neptus.git $lststools
+  * Set JAVA_HOME by opening ''%%/etc/bash.bashrc%%'' and adding:
+  export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
+  * Set default java to use openjdk8:
+  sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
+  * Compile Neptus
+  cd $lststools/neptus && ant
+  * Open Neptus
+  cd $lststools/neptus && ./neptus.sh auv
+  * Alternative for Ubuntu 20.04 (MRA not properly working with previous method): Use Oracle Java
+  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ts.sch.gr/ppa
+  sudo apt-get update
+  sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
 ===== Making a new vehicle type visible to Neptus Console =====
   * In the Neptus folder, go to ''%%vehicles-defs/%%''

   * Example:
-  ./dune -c otter/basic -p Hardware -X .
+  ./dune -c otter/ntnu-otter-02 -p Hardware -X .
+This results in a file ''ntnu-otter-02.en_US.xml'' being created in the folder dune was run from (or in ''location_for_parameterfile''). This XML is then moved to neptus/conf/params. After running neptus, ctrl+1 and "Access Developer Parameters", the parameters are now available for editing while running.
+===== Add support for custom IMC messages to Neptus =====
