Abstract

Application frameworks are a popular technique to implement product-line architectures. The problem of communicating the relevant properties of a framework for application developers is studied. It is argued that a conventional API specification is not sufficient for a framework, but a pattern-based specification of the extension interface is required. A technique to generate a pattern-based tutorial for the extension interface of a framework is described, relying on an existing tool developed for the generation of a programming environment for a framework.
