Abstract: The invention provides a visual structure for representing Java packages that fa cilitates the user's comprehension of the relationships between packages and between parts in the pac kages. The usual format for displaying package names is as string of the component directories ma king up the part's inheritance, separated by periods. In the invention, the parts are displayed in hierarchies (eg. trees) grouped to show common roots. When requested, a full package name can be constru cted dynamically. Users can manipulate the displayed groups or parts, and associated files are updated transparently.
