Extended ArcGIS by creating Java, C++, or .NET extensions that plug seamlessly into ArcObjects components.
ArcGIS is built from an integrated collection of extensible software components called ArcObjects. The ArcObjects framework can be extended by integrating external data sources and leveraging external libraries with ArcObjects extensions, all of which plug seamlessly into ArcObjects components and can be consumed by ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Engine, and ArcGIS Server applications since they are built from ArcObjects.
