| <h1>Using the Remote System Explorer API</h1> |
| <p>In addition to all the programming API provided by Eclipse, the Remote System Explorer itself |
| comes with numerous classes and interfaces that may be of value to programmers extending the RSE. |
| Typically, these are used in conjunction with the <a href="Extensions.html">extension points</a> |
| defined by the RSE. |
| <p> |
| The API set supplied by the RSE can be roughly partitioned into three areas: |
| <ol> |
| <li><a href="api/uiAPI.html">User interface</a> support, to make it easier to author plug-ins that extend or use the RSE. |
| <li><a href="api/resourceAPI.html">Remote resources</a> support, to enable access to remote resources via predefined subsystems. |
| <li><a href="api/modelAPI.html">Model</a> support, to enable traversal of the RSE model, to access connections, subsystem factories, subsystems, filters, and so on. |
| </ol> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| This guide will introduce the capabilities of the API, leaving the programming details to the |
| reference section.</p> |
