Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for providing controlled access to source code. The source code is encrypted. Access rights to the encrypted source code are configured. The encrypted source code is hosted at a network-accessible location. An access attempt for the encrypted source code by a digital rights management (DRM) enabled software development tool is received. Access to the encrypted source code by the DRM enabled software development tool is enabled according to the configured access rights.

Abstract: A virtual grouping of tools and artifacts is used during the development of a software application. A virtual container is created for each software project. Within the virtual container are a grouping of tools and artifacts unique to the respective software project. Each virtual container is created in a separate namespace. The tools and artifacts associated with a particular software project may not be accessible by any other project. A virtual container may contain a tool window to navigate a group of tools and artifacts unique to a software project. A virtual container may contain a cross-tool reporting tool to generate report data from the grouping of tools and artifacts unique to the software project.

Abstract: The invention is directed towards a virtual grouping of tools and artifacts used during the development of a software application.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for unrelated tools to categorized elements they control according to a common centrally managed classification scheme. The invention also provides a mechanism for storing, retrieving, and modifying classifying information. Users of unrelated tools that employ the subject invention see a single and consisted user interface.
