Implementation

We have implemented a multi-tool, multi-user, multi-paradigm metaCASE environment called MetaEdit+ (see figure) which uses a client-server architecture. The environment has been implemented in VisualWorks Smalltalk using the ArtBase object repository system and NEDT graphical programming environment. The environment can run on all major platforms including UNIX, Windows, NT and Macintosh.
