Abstract:
A processor-implemented method, system, and/or computer program product generates and implements intuitively comfortable frames of task appropriate frames of reference for multiple dimensions of context constraints for related sets of objects within an integrated development environment (IDE). One or more processors identify a hierarchical set of context constraints for an object, and depict the hierarchical set of context constraints for the object on an IDE using a visual metaphor selected by a user. The processor(s) receive a zoom-in input for a first context constraint in the hierarchical set of context constraints, and place the IDE in mention mode, such that use of the hierarchical set of context constraints against the object is disabled. In response to the IDE being placed in mention mode, the processor(s) display detail of the first context constraint on the IDE, and receive changes to the first context constraint to create a modified first context constraint.
