ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a technique for managing multiple contextual views of source code files. In a file system, different tasks demand that source code files be grouped in different hierarchical directories. When some or all of this manipulation is of the physical files themselves, the directories can become confused, and it may be difficult for the next user to access needed source code files. In the technique of the invention, the physical location of the files is independent of all contextual views, and is maintained in a separate viewable hierarchy. All items in contextual view hierarchies contain only references to the physical location of the source code files, and so modifications of those items, such as delete, move and copy, only alter the references themselves. A separate set of operations can be used for explicitly maintaining or modifying the physical source code files.
