The OpenOffice.org SDK, Final Release

At the first worldwide OpenOffice.org Conference in Hamburg,
the OpenOffice.org community announced the final release of
the OpenOffice.org 1.0.2 SDK. This release provides independent
software vendors, system integrators and enterprise developers
with the key set of tools and documentation that allows to
extend and integrate the OpenOffice.org productivity suite.

The new Developer's Guide explains in nearly nine hundred pages
how the Java[tm] technology and C++ can be used to write new
OpenOffice.org components, how to automate the office suite using
OpenOffice.org Basic and how to control the productivity
applications using the OLE bridge within Microsoft VisualBasic or
Borland Delphi.

This documentation has been made possible because of Sun's
collaboration with the Open Source community. Sun hopes to
achieve the adoption of OpenOffice.org for customized solutions
and to increase the number of users for both OpenOffice.org
and the StarOffice[tm] office suite.

The SDK comes with an extensive set of code samples that can be
used as the basis for development. The samples illustrate the
programmatic creation of different document types as well as some
OpenOffice.org extensions like spreadsheet add-ins and file filters.

Other open source projects, such as Gnumeric, are now starting to integrate
support for the OpenOffice.org's UNO (Universal Network Objects) component
framework. Besides, preliminary results of the OpenOffice.org developer
survey indicate that about 25% of the OpenOffice.org developers are either
working for an ISV or a system integrator. About 20% of the OpenOffice.org
developers work for companies with more than 100 employees.

The developer survey further shows that Windows and Linux are almost
equally important to OpenOffice.org developers. OpenOffice.org's
support for the Java[tm] programming language makes it easy to
create multiplatform components that can be deployed to all major operating
systems.

Several software vendors like Deutsche Post AG, Software AG and
Struktur AG are already supporting OpenOffice.org and the commercial
derivative product StarOffice.

Software AG and Sun Microsystems work together on integrating
support for the Tamino XML database into StarOffice for
document management purposes.

"The OpenOffice.org integration by struktur AG (www.struktur.de)
provides a powerful integration of OpenOffice.org and StarOffice
documents including images and tables with icoya Content &
Collaboration Management Systems (www.icoya.com)."

"Deutsche Post announced a new co-operation with SAP and Sun
Microsystems at CeBIT 2003 in connection with STAMPIT, its PC
franking software. In the future, STAMPIT will also be integrated
into the SME solution SAP Business One and complete office software
StarOffice. For the user, this means that letters can then be printed
and franked directly from the respective software in one step."

Some of these solutions have been shown at the first OpenOffice.org
Conference in March which attracted more that 250 attendees and
about 40 speakers. The event was sponsored by CollabNet, EdOsNet,
eikonex, O'Reilly, .riess integration AG, Software AG, struktur AG
and Sun Microsystems. During the conference the flexibility of
OpenOffice.org was demonstrated by community members who created
a Turkish localization of the new OpenOffice.org 1.1 Beta during
the event.
