Abstract
We present the transformation of the Coremetrics analytic application software engineering approaches from a traditional Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) environment to a software product line approach. Particular emphasis is placed on the motivation for a product line approach and the software engineering challenges faced particularly as an application service provider. We also discuss our definitions of product line variation and binding, and how we provide tool support using the open source Integrated Development Environment Eclipse. We also provide our observations about the software product line approach, how our work and findings relate to other work in this area, and lastly, how configuration management plays an integral and complementary role in our approach.
