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> 55 </td> 56 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 57 </tr> 58 <tr> 59 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 60 <td><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> 61 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 62 </tr> 63 <tr> 64 <td><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 65 <td> 66 <table class="table3"> 67 <tr valign="top"> 68 <td colspan="4" class="head1">Content</td> 69 </tr> 70 <tr> 71 <td colspan="4"><img class="nothing8" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 72 </tr> 73 <tr valign="top"> 74 <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> 75 <td colspan="2"><a href="docs/install.html" title="link to the installation guide">Installation Guide</a></td> 76 <td class="content70">An overview of all necessary 77 installation steps (e.g. environment variables) to use this SDK.</td> 78 </tr> 79 <tr valign="middle"> 80 <td><img class="nothing10" src="docs/images/nada.gif"></td> 81 <td colspan="3"><img class="line" src="docs/images/sdk_line-1.gif"></td> 82 </tr> 83 <tr valign="top"> 84 <td class="content4"><img src="docs/images/arrow-1.gif"></td> 85 <td colspan="2"><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></td> 86 <td class="content70">Detailed documentation, explaining the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% 87 API and the concepts behind it, with a rich set of examples, 88 implemented mainly in Java.
