JBOOM: Java Based Object Oriented Model of Software Configuration Management

Most of the present Software Configuration Management systems deal with version and configurations in the form of files and directories, the need today is to have a Software Configuration Management system that handles versions and configurations directly in terms of functions (program module). A major objective of this research is the use of Java in the Software Configuration Management systems. An object-oriented language provides both design and implementation in an integrated manner. We have proposed a model that expresses change evolution in terms of class hierarchies. As the changes evolve so does the class hierarchy, it can be further extended and existing classes can be extended.
