The OpenOffice.org SDK was developed to be an add-on for the OpenOffice.org office suite. It provides the necessary tools and documentation for programming the OpenOffice.org APIs and creating own extensions (UNO components) for OpenOffice.org.
Here are some key features of "OpenOffice.org SDK":
· Comprehensive Developer's Guide in the wiki, it will be updated frequently
· IDL reference with cross references to the Developer's Guide and vice versa
· C/C++ and Java UNO reference documentation
· Development and deployment tools
· Code samples for Java, C++, OpenOffice.org Basic and OLE
· Easy-to-use build environment for the included samples
