It provides a set of libraries, binaries, header, and IDL files which have final API's and can only be extended with new functionality. This set of libraries and binaries is the minimum set of functions needed to use system abstraction for base functionality and for using UNO (Universal Network Objects) component technology. The UNO component model is the base of the whole Office API. The SDK provides everything necessary to use the Office API from external programs (e.g. Java, C++) or to extend the Office functionality with new components (e.g. new filter components, CalcAddin functions). It is compatible over several versions because the API remains unaffected and will only be extended with new functions.</p> <p>The SDK provides the basic building blocks for external developers to develop components in any language for which a binding exists. Currently, there are language bindings for OpenOffice.org 2.4 Basic, Java, and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for OpenOffice.org 2.4, thus covering the two most commonly used programming languages. There will be no limit for office automation in heterogeneous environments. Currently supported platforms of the SDK are Linux, Solaris (sparc, x86), and Windows.</p> <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 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 lots of examples, which introduce the API, explain the concepts behind it, and make it possible for all users to quickly get started with the Office API.</p> </td> <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> <td><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> <td> <table class="table3"> <tr valign="top"> <td colspan="4" class="head1">Content</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="4"><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> <td colspan="2"><a href="docs/install.html" title="link to the installation guide">Installation Guide</a></td> <td class="content70">An overview of all necessary installation steps (e.g. environment variables) to use this SDK.</td> </tr> <tr valign="middle"> <td><img class="nothing10" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> <td colspan="3"><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> <td colspan="2"><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></td> <td class="content70">Detailed documentation, explaining the OpenOffice.org 2.4 API and the concepts behind it, with a rich set of examples, implemented mainly in Java.
