The example module chosen to illustrate the process of SALOME module development is very simple. The module contains a single component and this component provides several services called hello and goodbye. Each of these functions accepts a reference to the SALOME study and a character string as the arguments and returns the status of the operation. The component also provides a simple GUI.

The steps in the development are as follows:

create a module tree structure
create a SALOME component that can be loaded by a C++ SALOME container
configure the module so that the component is known to SALOME
add a GUI
