Abstract

A solution for managing a set of artifacts is provided in which modification data is captured while an artifact is modified and is stored. A proxy agent is generated for a framework agent that manages a set of modifications for an artifact. The proxy agent receives a modification message from, for example, a graphical user interface, captures modification data based on the modification message and forwards the modification message for processing by the framework agent. The captured modification data is serialized in an extensible markup language (XML)-based document for later processing. In one embodiment, the XML-based document comprises an Ant configuration file (script), which can be executed to recreate the modification(s) with or without generating a user interface.
