47            <p>Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% software is a complete, feature-rich
48              office productivity suite that provides, in combination with this
49			  SDK, all the essential tools for building and deploying custom
50			  solutions that build on, or integrate with, the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% suite
51			  of products.</p>
52            <p>The SDK is a development kit for Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE%, which
53			  eases the development of office components. It provides a set of
54			  libraries, binaries, header, and IDL files which have final API's
55			  and can only be extended with new functionality. This set of libraries
56			  and binaries is the minimum set of functions needed to use system
57			  abstraction for base functionality and for using UNO (Universal
58			  Network Objects) component technology. The UNO component model is the
59			  base of the whole Office API. The SDK provides everything necessary
60			  to use the Office API from external programs (e.g. Java, C++) or to
61			  extend the Office functionality with new components (e.g. new filter
62			  components, CalcAddin functions). It is compatible over several
63			  versions because the API remains unaffected and will only be extended
64			  with new functions.</p>
65            <p>The SDK provides the basic building blocks for external developers
66			  to develop components in any language for which a binding exists.
67			  Currently, there are language bindings for Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic, Java,
68			  and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE%,
69			  thus covering the two most commonly used programming languages. There
70			  will be no limit for office automation in heterogeneous environments.
71			  Currently supported platforms of the SDK are Linux, Solaris (sparc,
72			  x86), and Windows.</p>
73            <p>The SDK also contains <a href="docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/module-ix.html" title="link to the IDL reference documentation"> reference</a> documentation
74              for the API and a complete <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide" title="link to the Developer's Guide in the Wiki">Developer's Guide</a> is availbale online in the Apache OpenOffice Wiki, with
75			  lots of examples, which introduce the API, explain the concepts behind
76			  it, and make it possible for all users to quickly get started with
77			  the Office API.</p>
