Abstract

This paper describes a prototype tool that facilitates the process of understanding and managing multi-language program dependencies. More specifically the software tool maintains a repository of host-to-foreign language dependencies between C/C++ and Java code. We describe some program comprehension features of the tool and we discuss a preliminary case study performed in order to verify its functionality and validate its usefulness. Based on the results of this study we continue improving the tool.
