MPLAB

MPLAB is a proprietary freeware integrated development environment for the development of embedded applications on PIC and dsPIC microcontrollers, and is developed by Microchip Technology.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

MPLAB X is the latest edition of MPLAB, and is developed on the NetBeans platform.[9][10] MPLAB and MPLAB X support project management, code editing, debugging and programming of Microchip 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit PIC microcontrollers.[11][12][13]

MPLAB is designed to work with MPLAB-certified devices such as the MPLAB ICD 3 and MPLAB REAL ICE, for programming and debugging PIC microcontrollers using a personal computer. PICKit programmers are also supported by MPLAB.
