The OpenOffice.org 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.

The highlight of the SDK is the 900-page Developer's Guide. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed description of the OpenOffice.org API concepts, the OpenOffice.org UNO component model and how to use the API in the context of the different application areas. At the close of each chapter, there is at least one example that demonstrates how to use a specific API.

SDK related questions and comments should be sent to the dev@api.openoffice.org mailing list. Bugs and requests for enhancement should be reported as IssueZilla issues. Developers who are new to OpenOffice.org will also find the OpenOffice.org development page useful. It can be found at:
