A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for managing messages for an instant messaging conversation. A determination is made as to whether the selected party should receive the messages already exchanged in the instant messaging conversation in response to a user input during the instant messaging conversation with respect to a selected party. The messages are sent to the selected party in response to a determination that the selected party should receive the plurality of messages.

Automatically creating a current project in an application developer workspace is provided. In response to reading a project file for the current project, it is automatically determined whether the current project has one or more dependent projects based on data contained within the project file. In response to determining that the current project does have one or more dependent projects, a build file is automatically generated for each of the one or more dependent projects. The build file calls importing targets within each of the one or more dependent projects. Then, the current project and the one or more dependent projects are automatically imported into the application developer workspace to form a created current project. The created current project is created without launching an application developer application. In addition, the created current project is stored in a source code control repository.

An apparatus and method for multi-threaded password management are provided. With the apparatus and method, resources may be grouped into families of resources. A family of resources is defined as a group of resources that may make use of the same password. When a user sets a new password for a family of resources, all of the passwords for each of the resources in the family are reset to this new password. That is, the multi-threaded password management apparatus and method spawns threads to reset the passwords of the other resources in the family. In this way, a single operation of resetting a password for a resource in the family may cause a plurality of passwords to be reset. Moreover, the passwords need only be reset when the earliest reset time of the resources in the family occurs. Thus, the number of passwords that must be memorized by a user is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the number of times that passwords need be reset is also reduced due to the resetting of passwords on a group level.

The present invention is embodied in a system and method for creating markers on scroll bars of a graphical user interface. Basically, the present invention allows users to reference locations of interest within a document using scroll bars of a user interface by creating graphical halt and pause points on the scroll bar at the locations of interest. In general, the present invention includes a user interface with a digital document of an application being used by a user. The application has at least a vertical scroll bar for moving from one location to another within the digital document. The scroll bar includes a scroll box, stub points and end points. The stub points represent reference points within the digital document that are predefined by the user. The stub points either stop or pause the movement of the scroll box as it moves along the scroll bar. The end points represent the top and bottom portion of the digital document.
