| Abstract | We present a navigational aid for documentation used in software development. Based on using readily-authored UML diagrams as multi-ended links, we hypertexturally connect two distinct areas of documentation: design documents and javadoc program code documentation. Connecting the distinct areas is essential because it could help new developers in getting productive and supports development processes where both design and implementation change continuously. We also describe the lightweight implementation as a supplement to a Free Software toolchain. To achieve bi-directional linking, the implementation after-treats HTML pages generated by other tools, injecting into referred pages links back to the referring imagemap of each UML diagram. Each diagram also servers as a spatial context for navigation within target nodes. The software is currently a part of and in use at our software project. We mention how the scopes of the navigation system and software could be widened to hypertext document types outside the needs of our software project. |
