Workings of the SDK
The SDK consists of:
-
source code, for features, mappers, OCS drivers, profiles, libraries, services, and so-on; written in Java
-
modules, which contain the source code, in a standard directory structure; built and published into a local filesystem-based Ivy repository inside the SDK
-
OpenCloud-supplied tools, which read published modules from Ivy repositories included in the SDK and then read/write state in the Rhino SLEE.
The various tools in the SDK operate on modules which have been built and published.
