ABSTRACT In the Eclipse JDT, the Java reference resolution rules are applied as fully as possible, thereby either determining the unique target for a given ,reference or signalling that the reference cannot be resolved. However, a variety of development tasks require the manipulation,of code ,for which ,incomplete resolution of refer- ences is both ,possible and useful. This paper ,motivates the
... [Show full abstract] need for incomplete resolution during a software reuse-and-integration task and the difficulties that result. A proof-of-concept imple- mentation is described that is usedas a basis for reuse tool support and that can be used for other transformation tools.
