Preface


The Sun Management Center Developer Environment Reference Manual provides instructions on how to use the Sun Management CenterTM development environment. These instructions are designed for programmers with knowledge of object-oriented programming languages.


Audience

The audience of this document are programmers who already have a knowledge of object-oriented language and Java. This document does not explain object-oriented fundamentals. Moreover, this document does not explain some concepts in great detail since the assumption is that the document is for programmers already familiar with them.

The audience is one who is exposed to the Sun Management Center product. Hence, many terms and concepts applicable to the product are not explained here. For more information on those, refer to the Sun Management Center User's Guide. Third-party clients, such as application programmers and system administrators, should note that the code examples in this document are mainly presented here for reference.
