Abstract
A method, a system and a computer program product for hierarchical program source management retrieve a main program from a memory and initiate a layer representing a portion of the main program for editing on the display. Program code is edited within the layer in response to detected user programming inputs. A layer abstract syntax tree corresponding to the edited program code is generated. The layer abstract syntax tree is compared with a main program abstract syntax tree and a layer file is generated including the differences between the layer abstract syntax tree and the main program abstract syntax tree.
