ABSTRACT:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for integrating third party tools of an integrated software environment with an integrated environment manager. The graphical user interface of the integrated environment manager is augmented with an icon representing a selected third-party tool. Pulldown and pullright menus are controlled to show objects and files which have been used recently and by which tools. The tools and the integrated environment manager communicate through inter-process messaging to coordinate control of picklists in menus of the integrated environment manager and the tools integrated therewith.
