A Distributed Repository for Object-Oriented Software Components

As wide-area network is spreading, cooperative software development in wide-area distributed environments is getting common. We are aiming at building a distributed development support system for object-oriented software. Integrated management of various distributed softwarecomponents and support for cooperative work are necessary for distributed development support. In this paper, we focus on integrated and distributed management of various software components. Using a distributed hypertext, we have designed a component management mechanism for objectoriented software. This paper presents design concepts and an implementation of this component management mechanism. Among some support tools, distributed automatic generation of makefiles is also mentioned. 1. Introduction Our aim is at supporting cooperative development of object-oriented software in a distributed environment through its life cycle. Suppose a team of several developers working together to build a software system. When i..
