Introduction

The functionality of the ACDE in Phase 1 is characterized by the following headlines:

• New Components will be written in Ada 95 using a normal editor. This will be the GNU Emacs or the Crisp Editor, but the idea is to make the environment not to depend on features of a certain editor.
• An centralized WWW based  Reposetory Manager   manages predefined and user implemented components.
•  Predefined Components will be supplied.

Respository Manager

The repostory Manager runs on a centralized server has to support the following features:

• Hirarchical browser which allows the user to inspect the interfaces of components.
• The user is be able to create/delete domains and to insert components (checkin/checkout) into the repository. A simple role model is supported for these operations.
• Integration with gnat Ada95 Compiler on a Linux Plattform, which means upon check in the component is compiled within the repository context  
• The visiblity of component may be restricted to groups of users.

In order to integrate into the already exisiting WWW environment the user interface for the repository manager will be based on HTML.
