24*cdf0e10cSrcweir            <p>OpenOffice.org %PRODUCT_RELEASE% software is a complete, feature-rich
25*cdf0e10cSrcweir              office productivity suite that provides, in combination with this
26*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  SDK, all the essential tools for building and deploying custom
27*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  solutions that build on, or integrate with, the OpenOffice.org %PRODUCT_RELEASE% suite
28*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  of products.</p>
29*cdf0e10cSrcweir            <p>The SDK is a development kit for OpenOffice.org %PRODUCT_RELEASE%, which
30*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  eases the development of office components. It provides a set of
31*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  libraries, binaries, header, and IDL files which have final API's
32*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  and can only be extended with new functionality. This set of libraries
33*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  and binaries is the minimum set of functions needed to use system
34*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  abstraction for base functionality and for using UNO (Universal
35*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  Network Objects) component technology. The UNO component model is the
36*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  base of the whole Office API. The SDK provides everything necessary
37*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  to use the Office API from external programs (e.g. Java, C++) or to
38*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  extend the Office functionality with new components (e.g. new filter
39*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  components, CalcAddin functions). It is compatible over several
40*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  versions because the API remains unaffected and will only be extended
41*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  with new functions.</p>
42*cdf0e10cSrcweir            <p>The SDK provides the basic building blocks for external developers
43*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  to develop components in any language for which a binding exists.
44*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  Currently, there are language bindings for OpenOffice.org %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic, Java,
45*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for OpenOffice.org %PRODUCT_RELEASE%,
46*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  thus covering the two most commonly used programming languages. There
47*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  will be no limit for office automation in heterogeneous environments.
48*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  Currently supported platforms of the SDK are Linux, Solaris (sparc,
49*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  x86), and Windows.</p>
50*cdf0e10cSrcweir            <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
51*cdf0e10cSrcweir              for the API and a complete <a href="http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/OpenOffice.org_Developers_Guide" title="link to the Developer's Guide in the Wiki">Developer's Guide</a> is availbale online in the OpenOffice.org Wiki, with
52*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  lots of examples, which introduce the API, explain the concepts behind
53*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  it, and make it possible for all users to quickly get started with
54*cdf0e10cSrcweir			  the Office API.</p>
