Main OMERO API [5.2.8-ice35-b57] Documentation

The Javadocs provided compose the bulk of the OMERO API documentation. However, the OMERO.py documentation is available under python and the slice2html generated documentation is available from slice2html. Where possible links between the various pieces of API references have been added. For an overview or getting started guide, see the links below.
