Abstract
A user interface provides a visual representation of a software development set being loaded on to a computer, including displaying the contents (e.g., constituent software components) of the development set. Contents of the development set may be displayed before the contents have even been loaded on to the computer. The user interface may enable the user to select one or more of the software components of the development set (or the development set itself). In response to the user selection, the user may be enabled to perform limited operations on the software components. A user may be enabled to select, from the visual representation, a software component of the loading set that has not yet been loaded on to the computer.
