ABSTRACT
Today's integrated development environments (IDEs) are hampered by their dependence on files and file-based editing. We propose a novel user interface that is based on collections of lightweight editable fragments, called bubbles, which when grouped together form concurrently visible working sets. We describe the design of a prototype IDE user interface for Java based on working sets.

Code bubbles: a working set-based interface for code understanding and maintenance
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDevelopers spend significant time reading and navigating code fragments spread across multiple locations. The file-based nature of contemporary IDEs makes it prohibitively difficult to create and maintain a simultaneous view of such fragments. We ...

The IDE portability problem and its solution in Monto
SLE 2016: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Software Language EngineeringModern IDEs support multiple programming languages via plug-ins, but developing a high-quality language plug-in is a huge development effort and individual plug-ins are not reusable in other IDEs. We call this the IDE portability problem.
