The method engineering discipline acknowledges the need for the construction of methods tuned to specific situations of development projects. One proposal for solving such a problem is to consider a method as a set of method fragment where a fragment can represent either process or product knowledge. Methods can be stored in a method base. We have implemented such a method base which constitutes the kernel of a tool environment called MENTOR, supporting the construction the evolution of methods and their enactment. In this paper we present and exemplify the Computer Aided Method Engineering (CAME) functionalities of MENTOR supporting the method construction process. The goal of this CAME environment is to improve the productivity of method engineers by facilitating the construction of methods which are project specific.
