== Introduction to APEX Engine and Applications
-The core of APEX is the APEX Engine, also known as the APEX Policy Engine.
+The core of APEX is the APEX Engine, also known as the APEX Policy Engine or the APEX PDP (since it is in fact a Policy Decision Point).
Beside this engine, an APEX system comes with a few applications intended to help with policy authoring, deployment, and execution.
The engine itself and most applications are started from the command line with command line arguments.
@@ -20,17 +20,10 @@ This is called a Command Line Interface (CLI).
Some applications require an installation on a webserver, as for instance the REST Editor.
Those applications can be accessed via a web browser.
-Starting with APEX version 0.5.6, we also provide plugins for Eclipse realizing a policy development environment.
-Those plugins support the main APEX policy language.
-Other, higher-level, policy languages will be added in future versions along with their Eclipse plugins.
-Furthermore, we are planning to provide a backend supporting the Language Server Protocol (LSP).
-This backend, run as a server, will allow to join any editor or IDE that is LSP-enabled to benefit from the APEX policy languages.

-Last not least, one can use the available APEX APIs and applications to develop other applications as required.
+You can also use the available APEX APIs and applications to develop other applications as required.
This includes policy languages (and associated parsers and compilers / interpreters), GUIs to access APEX or to define policies, clients to connect to APEX, etc.
-Separate documentation will be available in APEX releases addressing this type of applications.
-For this documentation, we assume an installation of APEX as a full system (i.e. not minimal) of version 0.5.6 or higher.
+For this documentation, we assume an installation of APEX as a full system based on a current ONAP release.
