PAS for the user software. PAS is a Web based

for individual software components into specialized partitions so programmers

PAS2 consists of 2 java doclets, the Editor and
the Writer.
The Editor uses javadoc to parse the classes and presents the class, method,
and partition information in easy to read format. The user than browses through
comments and partitions and updates the information. The updates are
saved in the original *.java classes.
The Editor Doclet also provides the capability to edit the XML file that
defines the partitions.
The Writer is used to parse the classes and generate the *.html files.
The *.html files contain standard java comments, plus the partition
information.
