Methods, systems, and computer program products for storing, loading, analyzing, and sharing references to recently used objects

摘要

Methods, systems, and computer program products centrally manage references to objects recently employed by a user operating in a software development environment. After transmission of collection messages to plural applications, a receiver centrally managing object references receives an information block of object references. A writer of the centrally managing object references system writes the information blocks into memory. A reader further reads previously written information blocks to inform plural applications of what objects were previously referenced.
