The Software Development Kit (SDK) for Automation Orchestrator plug-ins is a set of libraries and Maven archetypes. It is the recommended way of developing plug-ins for Automation Orchestrator. The Plug-in SDK provides a collection of interfaces for communicating with the Automation Orchestrator platform and accessing different platform services.
Where can I access the Automation Orchestrator Plug-in SDK
The Plug-in SDK is decoupled from the
Automation Orchestrator platform. You must download and install the Plug-in SDK on your machine. See
Download and install the Automation Orchestrator Plug-in SDK.
Note: The Plug-in SDK comes bundled as a ZIP package. After unzipping the package, you can find additional installation information in the
README.md file in the SDK archive.
Can I use Maven packages that are internal to Automation Orchestrator and are not part of the SDK
Using Automation Orchestrator libraries that are not part of the SDK is not recommended. Such libraries can change frequently and compatibility with your plug-in cannot be guaranteed.
