Abstract :
Describes a high-level approach to the construction of software development environments (SDEs) featuring a new degree of automation. It combines a variety of reuse approaches into one powerful machinery. Based on suitable specification formalisms (context-free grammars as well as graph rewriting systems), generator tools and a framework implementation, the IPSEN (Integrated Project Support ENvironment) meta-environment allows the construction of SDEs supporting textual and graphical editors, analyzers and other complex tools. The meta-environment itself has also been bootstrapped from specifications and the framework
