Abstract

Modern IDEs like Eclipse promote a file-centric view of programs that makes juxtaposing disjoint pieces of code cumbersome. Yet juxtaposition is crucial to common tasks like refactoring. In this paper we introduce MView, a plugin for Eclipse that broadens the notion of an editable document to embrace collections of code fragments enabling easy juxtapositions.
