A method, system and computer program product for creating a software
product in an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). In one
embodiment, remote object status data is received by a software
development module which may be a source code editor or a program
execution emulator. Responsive to the received data, the remote object
status is rendered within a display medium of the software development
module by decorating or otherwise distinguishing the remote OIDs in the
IDE. In one embodiment in which the software development module is a
source code editor, the method further includes detecting a remote object
identifier in a source code file processed by the source code editor, and
in response thereto, displaying the remote object status within the
source code editor.
