  • It can (typically) include UNO-related tools like unoidl-write, cppumaker, javamaker, and climaker for type library management and code generation.<grok-card data-id="93ab1a" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • It can (typically) support deployment through unopkg tool for installing UNO packages.<grok-card data-id="a19516" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • It can (typically) provide runtime environments via uno tool for executing UNO components.<grok-card data-id="fd335a" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • ...
  • It can (often) generate code skeletons using uno-skeletonmaker tool for Java and C++ components.<grok-card data-id="dfd6dd" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • It can (often) view type libraries with unoidl-read tool or legacy registries with regview tool.<grok-card data-id="270774" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Compilation LibreOffice Development Tool to being a Deployment LibreOffice Development Tool, depending on its development phase focus.
  • It can range from being a Language-Specific LibreOffice Development Tool to being a General-Purpose LibreOffice Development Tool, depending on its target language.
  • ...
  • It can be used in conjunction with external tools like GNU make and zip tool for building packages.<grok-card data-id="40ad2b" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • It can support legacy formats through tools like regview for compatibility.<grok-card data-id="72984f" data-type="citation_card"></grok-card>
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • LibreOffice Development Tool (unopkg), for deploying and managing UNO packages.
  • LibreOffice Development Tool (uno-skeletonmaker), for generating component skeletons.
  • Code Generation LibreOffice Development Tools, such as:
    • cppumaker Tool for C++ code generation.
    • javamaker Tool for Java class files.
  • Type Management LibreOffice Development Tools, such as:
    • unoidl-write Tool for compiling UNOIDL types.
    • unoidl-read Tool for viewing type libraries.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Apache OpenOffice Development Tools, from a separate project fork.
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Tools, for proprietary development.
  • Eclipse IDE Tools, general-purpose without LibreOffice integration.
