%PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCT_RELEASE% software is a complete, feature-rich
office productivity suite that provides, in combination with this
SDK, all the essential tools for building and deploying custom
solutions that build on, or integrate with, the %PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCT_RELEASE% suite
of products.
The SDK is a development kit for %PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCT_RELEASE%, which
eases the development of office components. 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.
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 %PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic, Java, Python,
and different C++ compilers on different platforms, for %PRODUCTNAME% %PRODUCT_RELEASE%,
thus covering the 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.
The SDK also contains reference documentation
for the API and a complete Developer's Guide is available online in TDF 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.
