The exteNd DirectorTM Gadget Developer Kit (GDK) provides tools to develop, test, and deploy gadgets for Novell exteNd Director. The Standard Edition of exteNd Director was formerly known as Novell Portal Services. Gadgets are applications that reside within the portal and provide access to resources such as directories, databases, and Web pages. They are the building blocks of the Novell exteNd Director portal.
The SDK includes documentation, sample gadgets, a stand-alone gadget testing environment, and a tool that packages gadgets for installation into the exteNd Director portal.
The GDK is unsupported. This download is provided as a courtesy to the development community and is no longer in active development at Novell.
We strongly recommend that you do not use the GDK in a production environment.

You also need to have at least a basic understanding of Java, XML, XSLT, and HTML technologies.
The GDK is part of the Novell Developer Kit (NDK), and can be downloaded from the exteNd Director Gadget Developer Kit area of the NDK web site.

To install a GDK component, use an unzip utility to decompress the contents of the ZIP file to a directory of your choice. Make sure that you select the options that will append the path of each file, as stored in the archive, to the output directory.
