OpenForecast is a package of general purpose, forecasting models written in Java that can be applied to any data series. One of the design goals is to make it easy for a developer to use in an application even if they do not understand, or care to understand, the differences between the different forecasting models available.

============

To build OpenForecast, you will need the following tools:

 - a Java compiler (works with J2SDK 1.3 and above)
