If you want to develop with openCherry, please see the download link. MITK users who want to use openCherry should read the information in SetupMitkQt4OpenCherry (the openCherry source code is distributed with MITK).

For an overview about the features and capabilities of openCherry, see the links below:

• A good place to get an overview of the C++ classes is the openCherry doxygen documentation.
• To learn more about OSGi, visit [1]], especially [What Is OSGi.
• You can learn more about the openCherry Workbench by reading the corresponding articles about the Eclipse Workbench and browsing the Workbench User Guide on http://help.eclipse.org. Many concepts are the same in openCherry, especially Views, Editors, Perspectives, Commands, the Selection Service, etc.
