Introduction

Introduction
With Café Duet , AMX opens the door to a broad knowledge base and vast programming
TM
resources by integrating Java and NetLinx technologies. This NetLinx Duet architecture
TM
extends the power of your existing NetLinx systems long into the future and expands the
©
capabilities of your future projects. As a plug-in to the main Eclipse application, Café
Duet provides a unique dual-interpreter environment that supports either NetLinx or Java
programming, or both.
The Standard NetLinx API (SNAPI) router keeps NetLinx and Java in perfect sync. Café
Duet module development is fast and efficient within the Café Duet Integrated
Development Environment (IDE), using the Duet Software Development Kit (SDK).
The Duet SDK includes a module Wizard with several device-specific Application
Program Interfaces (APIs) to streamline module creation.
Additionally, you can leverage the CDC/Foundation Class Library of over 750 high-level
native Java language classes to simplify the programming of today's most complex
applications and interface modules.
Prerequisite to the installation of Café Duet is the presence of NetLinx Studio v2.4 (or
higher) on your PC. If you have not already installed NetLinx Studio, you will be
prompted to do so before installing Café Duet. This is to ensure that you are using the
latest NetLinx Compiler to build and extract the module files.
