A system includes a server and a source client executable on a first electronic device in communication with the server. The server is configured to provide to a second electronic device in communication with the server access to location data implementable by a user interface associated with the second electronic device. The location data enables the user interface to display the geographical location of the first electronic device. The access to the location data is accessible to the second electronic device only during a time interval designated by a user of the first electronic device.

In one embodiment, a method is provided for use in a system in which a user may edit an artifact and a diagram representing the artifact. The method includes acts of temporarily removing, in response to a request by the user, an artifact portion which corresponds to a diagram element on a diagram (e.g., a class diagram); removing the diagram element from the diagram; replacing, in response to a request by the user, the artifact portion in the artifact; and replacing the diagram element in the diagram, wherein the diagram element retains at least a portion of customization performed by the user previous to its removal from the diagram. In one embodiment, the method includes creating a representation of the diagram element which provides an indication of the customization performed by the user, storing the representation in a data structure when the artifact portion is temporarily removed, and retrieving the representation from the data structure to recreate the diagram element when the artifact portion is replaced.

Methods and apparatus enabling diagram customization retention

A visual design surface that identifies configuration errors to a user in an inconspicuous manner is disclosed. Shapes representing software artifacts are arranged on the design surface. Each shape may have one or more configuration parameter. The parameters associated with each shape are analyzed to locate configuration errors. When an error is identified, an error icon is placed next to the shape. The user may select the icon and be presented with one or more proposed solutions.
