In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there are provided methods and mechanisms for determining an allocation of resources, including hardware resources in a computing environment. With these methods and mechanisms, it is possible for computing resource allocations to satisfy one or more operational considerations, such as for example without limitation: 'reduce device heat dissipation', 'avoid single point of failure in switched network' and other allocation needs are contemplated.

Mechanism for making a computing resource allocation

In accordance with the invention, there is provided a method and apparatus for receiving a streamed zip file and accessing contents of the zip file's central directory. The zip file is made up of a set of files and a central directory. A zip receiver opens up a stream and reads in the zip file. A zip interface is provided to access the contents of the zip file's central directory as the central directory is received by the zip receiver.

Method and apparatus for processing a streamed zip file

A mechanism is disclosed for exposing a command line interface (CLI) command as a web service by automatically generating a description document that describes the CLI command's syntax. A man page that is associated with the specified CLI command is automatically parsed. Based on the man page, a description document is automatically generated. The automatically generated description document describes the CLI command's syntax.

A method for creating an install program involves selecting a plurality of icons (where each of the plurality of icons represents an element of the install program), defining the install program by placing and arranging the plurality of icons onto a workspace to obtain a defined install program, and building the install program based on the defined install program.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that determines class dependencies of a class. The system operates by: receiving a representation of the class; creating a model of the class from the representation; analyzing the model to detect references to supporting classes; and creating a list of all dependent classes. For each supporting class found, the system recursively determines the dependencies of that class and adds them to the list. In a variation on this embodiment, the system identifies classes that an object depends on by: receiving a representation of an object; parsing the object to identify any classes on which the object depends; and analyzing and documenting the class dependencies of the object and all dependent classes.
