Developing an SDK

Hello, I would like to know how to develop an sdk. I know its a software devlopment kit, but what does it consist of, a jar file(s)? How would I go about creating my own.

If you're talking Java you should have a compiler available at the least.

Something that can fire up the JVM would be handy to have too. A few

additional tools would be welcomed by your audience also.

But then again, if you're talking Java, why should you reinvent that wheel?

kind regards,

Well, first you would write a framework ;)

Assuming the framework is written, you would then provide JavaDocs and JAR files containing the framework API and documentation on how to integrate your framework into, say, Eclipse. I think that if you provided all three you could safely call it an SDK.

I'm curious as to why you want to create an SDK when you seem a bit unsure of what an SDK is, what one consists of, or how one would begin going about such a task.

I'm not meaning to be critical here, but most of the time I try to explore solutions only when I've understood the problem. What do you want to accomplish by creating an SDK?

It can be an exciting exercise as in writing a clib for the first time where

you want to offer a C api for open, close, read, write and ioctl. All you've

got are a few bytes on a stack frame, a structure layout and that mysterious

'switch to root mode and please don't kill me pretty please' instruction ;-)

kind regards,

I have a bit of a modified framework, and all that but for instance the java sdk is an .exe install. Thats what I would like to make.
