Hi Jhon,
Please answer to [email protected] not to my own mail address. There
are a lot of people on the list who know much more about openoffice than
I do.
I have never expected an SDK to include an IDE. Most of them are just
documentation, examples and headers. But, I don't do Visual Basic. So
maybe things are different in that "world".
I don't know anything about that 5 files that you are talking about. In
my computer the SDK has quite more files but they are in just 5 dirs, so
maybe that files are just the dirs compressed:
/bin - A couple of utilities.
/examples - A couple of examples, most of them in C++ and Java.
/docs - The documentation
/idl - The API reference
/lib - A couple of libs that you can link from your programs.
Only the examples, doc and idl are useful for a Basic programmer. A
quick google search for OOo and Visual Basic has returned this result, I
believe that it could be what you are looking for:

Thank you for responding Javier,
My primary skills are in Visual Basic, I've seen reference to basic
programming with the sdk and wanted to use it. I've never experience
an SDK with no IDE. I know nothing about java . Also, in regard to
the 5 files that were installed what are they for? They seem to do nothing.
What about the 93mbytes that the sdk is taking up on my hard drive. Is
there any documentation for any of this?
It seems to be a complete "free for all" with OpenOffice.org, the web
site contains way too much info and is not organized coherently. I
regret all the time I've wasted chasing this SDK.
Please don't be offended I very much appreciate your help and the time
you've taken to respond to my question. Maybe OpenOffice.org SDK is
beyond my skill level.

There is no IDE in the SDK download. Why were you expecting to get
an IDE with it?.
The NetBeans IDE has a plugin to make developing for OpenOffice
easier. If you are looking for an IDE to develop OOo extensions, you
can check it.
