  • Patent number: 9058240
    Abstract: A method implemented by a processor and a system develop a software project targeting one or more remote systems. The method includes generating a project on a local system, which includes receiving user input through a user interface. The project includes one or more source files. The method also includes generating one or more remote contexts corresponding to the one or more remote systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2015
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation

  • Patent number: 8296720
    Abstract: For use in an integrated development environment, such as Eclipse, a common connection registry of connections to remote systems is presented. The connection registry contains objects and subsystem objects. The connection objects have attribute information for the remote system whereas the subsystem objects contain information specific to a particular tool and connection. The framework further presents a common user interface by which tools can be registered within a connection, or by which a new connection can be created. The common user interface presents application program interfaces by which connection objects and subsystem objects can be created, retrieved, maintained, updated, modified, stored in the registry, and/or deleted, etc. The framework is capable of maintaining connections and tools within an integrated development environment independent of the type and/or operating system of the remote systems, the programming language of the tools, etc.

  • Publication number: 20040003091
    Abstract: For use in an integrated development environment, such as Eclipse, a common connection registry of connections to remote iSeries systems is presented. The connection registry comprises subsystem objects that contain information specific to a particular tool and connection. These subsystem objects include iSeries Objects, iSeries Jobs, iSeries Commands, IFS Files, and IFS Commands. The framework further presents a common user interface called the remote systems explorer by which tools can be registered within a connection to an iSeries resource, or by which a new connection to an iSeries resource can be created. Each subsystem object type has a factory that has a plurality of application program interfaces by which connection objects and subsystem objects can be created, retrieved, maintained, updated, modified, stored in the registry, and/or deleted, etc. for that type of resource.
