Abstract

Presented herein is a method and computer program product for generating, in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a software application that is designed to exploit services of multiple Enterprise Information Systems (EISs). In one embodiment, the method associates each of multiple Resource and Tooling Adapters (RTAs) with a selected one of multiple Enterprise Information Services (EISs). A software application, which uses multiple EISs and is developed through development facilities of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), is identified. Source code that is used to access the services of the multiple EISs is generated by plugging multiple corresponding RTAs into the IDE. Using plugged-in multiple corresponding RTAs in the IDE, data is provided, to the IDE, that describes services available from the multiple EISs to the software application.
