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