Abstract
The present invention discloses a navigation-independent system for accessing the elements of an integrated development environment (IDE) using uniform resource locators (URLs). Such a system can include a set of URL-accessible IDE elements, a set of URLs, and a URL operation tool. The set of URL-accessible IDE elements can represent a multitude of functional objects accessible by the IDE. Each URL-retrievable IDE element can include a set of meta data that contains key words describing the URL-accessible IDE element. Each URL in the set of URLs can be configured to provide a navigation-independent mechanism for accessing a corresponding URL-accessible IDE element. The URL operation tool can be configured to associate URLs with URL-accessible IDE elements and execute URL operations on the URL-accessible IDE elements.
