Abstract
A method for assigning runtime artifacts to software components. Source code and metadata are extracted from a library, where the metadata includes a component membership for the source code. A compile unit is formed from the extracted source code and metadata. Runtime artifacts are produced from the compile unit or an element derived from the compile unit. Each runtime artifact is interrogated to determine the defined component for each runtime artifact. The determined component is recorded.
Claims5
A method of assigning runtime artifacts to software components, the method comprising:
- extracting source code and metadata from a library, the metadata comprising a component membership for the source code;
- forming a compile unit from the extracted source code and metadata;
- producing runtime artifacts from the compile unit or an element derived from the compile unit;
- interrogating, by a processor, each runtime artifact to determine a defined component for the each runtime artifact;
- and
- recording the determined component.
