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="https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide" title="link to the Developer's Guide in the Wiki">Developer's Guide</a> is available 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> 78 </td> 79 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 80 </tr> 81 <tr> 82 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 83 <td><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> 84 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 85 </tr> 86 <tr> 87 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 88 <td> 89 <table class="table3"> 90 <tr valign="top"> 91 <td colspan="4" class="head1">Content</td> 92 </tr> 93 <tr> 94 <td colspan="4"><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 95 </tr> 96 <tr valign="top"> 97 <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> 98 <td colspan="2"><a href="docs/install.html" title="link to the installation guide">Installation Guide</a></td> 99 <td class="content70">An overview of all necessary 100 installation steps (e.g. environment variables) to use this SDK.</td> 101 </tr> 102 <tr valign="middle"> 103 <td><img class="nothing10" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 104 <td colspan="3"><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> 105 </tr> 106 <tr valign="top"> 107 <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> 108 <td colspan="2"><a href="https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide" title="link to the Developer's Guide in the Wiki">Developer's Guide</a></td> 109 <td class="content70">Detailed documentation, explaining the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% 110 API and the concepts behind it, with a rich set of examples, 111 implemented mainly in Java.
