This document describes the Development Toolkit (DTK). DTK enables you to develop user defined programs, plugins, in Java that you then incorporate into the Platform.

Note!

While this document does not include general information about Java programming, it contains rules and recommendations that you should apply in order to operate your new plugin with the Platform.

This document contains an overview of the classes and interfaces used for the different plugins.

For a complete list of all the classes, and the full syntax details, see the JavaDoc.

In the DTK package, examples for full-featured plugins are also included. The reader is encouraged to examine these examples that can be found in $MZ_HOME/dtk/javadoc when DTK has been installed according to 2. Installation and Setup.
