In full Monte Carlo simulation models of future Linear Collider detectors, reconstructed charged tracks and calorimeter clusters are used to perform a complete reconstruction of exclusive W⁺W{sup −} production. The event reconstruction and analysis Java software is being developed for detailed physics studies that take realistic detector resolution and background modeling into account. Studies of track-cluster association and jet energy flow for two detector models are discussed. At this stage of the analysis, reference W-boson mass distributions for ideal detector conditions are presented.
