All the classes are delivered as a jar file with a specific manifest as we will see further in this tutorial. Class files are generated from that file to translate the specifications into a Java class definition file which is built with the implementation into a class using the java compiler. As shown by the diagram, the specifications are compiled and merged into one types.rdb registry. The following diagram will help you better understand what should be done to get a component from its specification and sources. There are two of them: the first one describes all the component specifications ( types.rdb) and the second translates the implementation into specifications ( services.rdb) and is generated from the implementation. In order that UNO knows which implementation corresponds to which specification, the component will use registries. This is the internal part of the component and will not be accessible from another component.
This programming language can either be C++, Java, Python or others.
ECLIPSE DEVELOPMENT TUTORIAL CODE
"A component is a system element offering a predefined service and able to communicate with other components" explains Wikipedia (Fr) (Even thought there is a definition on the English wikipedia article, I prefer the French one because of its completeness). Afterwards, I will explain what is needed to create a UNO component to help you to fully understand the different tools and their use during the tutorial. First I will explain what a component is and its main parts. This section will explain some very basic things about UNO components.

If you are an experienced UNO programmer, you can still follow this tutorial to have a better view of how to use the Eclipse plugin. This tutorial will use Eclipse and its plugin for the development, and every step will be detailed. This paper is a tutorial to guide UNO newcomers through creating their first Java component.
