OpenOffice.org 2.0 Software Development Kit (SDK)

The OpenOffice.org SDK is 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.

What's new in OpenOffice.org 2.0 SDK?

  • The new OpenOffice 2.0 SDK comes as a native installer package in the same way as the OpenOffice.org installation sets.
    Note: Windows user should take care that the SDK is installed in a place where the path contains no spaces because of a bug in gnu make. Otherwise the SDK internal build environment isn't usable.
  • Updated Developer's Guide
    The "Developer's Guide" gets updated (~1100 pages), chapters are reworked or extended. The new UNO ease of use features are integrated and explained in detail. A new chapter describing the "Scripting Framework" is integrated as well.
  • New API's
    We have introduced a lot of new API's and new concepts as well (see "Increasing UNO Ease of Use" and Professional UNO). Final API's are marked as "published" now, non published API's are in evaluation mode and can be changed as long as they are not published. New since tags in the IDL refenrence showing the availablity date of the API.
    Please see "Overview of new API's" for a roughly overview of new API's.
  • Improved IDL reference
  • New CLI language binding
    This new "CLI Language Binding" allows the use of the API from .NET languages like C# or VBA.Net.
  • Most examples are adapted to make use of the new UNO simple bootstrap mechanism
  • OfficeBean gets overworked, it supports a better and richer interface now.
  • Improved SDK build environment with improved configuration
    For more details about the improved configuration please take a look into the <sdk>/docs/install.html description.
