Method and apparatus for creating software tools using a JTML interface

A data processing system implemented method for constructing a software tool, the method comprising:

• receiving a code object file from a client server;
• parsing the code object file;
• processing the code object file to identify at least one code object;
• retrieving at least one programming task associated with the at least one code object;
• and
• constructing the software tool from the at least one programming task.

A computer-implemented data processing system for constructing a software tool, the system comprising:

• receiving means for receiving a user request from a user for defining a software tool;
• processing means for processing the user request to identify at least one pseudo code object, wherein the processing means includes parsing the user request for code objects;
• retrieving means for retrieving at least one programming task associated with a code object based on identifying the at least one pseudo code object;
• and
• constructing means for constructing the software tool from the at least one programming task.

A computer program product for performing a method for constructing a software tool, the computer program product embodied on a computer readable memory and comprising a series of instructions, the computer program product comprising:

• receiving instructions for receiving a user request from a user for defining a software tool;
• processing instructions for processing the user request to identify at least one pseudo code object, wherein the processing instructions include parsing the user request for code objects;
• retrieving instructions for retrieving at least one programming task associated with a code object based on identifying the at least one pseudo code object;
• and
• constructing instructions for constructing the software tool from the at least one programming task.

A method in a data processing system for creating a software tool, the method comprising the data processing system implemented steps of:

• receiving a user request for defining the software tool, wherein the user request includes a pseudo code object;
• parsing the pseudo code object into a code object;
• identifying at least one programming task associated with the code object;
• and
• constructing the software tool using each programming task identified and associated with the code object.
