Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for building a pattern. An external framework engine identifies the software components, as well as code updates and/or code fixes, from the external repositories associated with different vendors. The framework engine then generates metadata using the identified software components and code updates and/or code fixes which may be used to determine the relationships between the software components. Furthermore, the framework engine generates configuration metadata to successfully link software components with a relationship. The framework engine then displays the software components available to be used to build the pattern, including the relationship linkages between the software components with a relationship along with the configuration metadata required to make a successful linkage. In this manner, the user will be able to build a pattern using software components provided from different vendors and be able to understand the relationship linkages between the software components.
