Abstract

FeatureIDE is a popular open-source tool for modeling, implementing, configuring, and analyzing software product lines. However, FeatureIDE's initial design was lacking mechanisms that facilitate extension and reuse of core implementations. In current releases, we improve these traits by providing a modular concept for core data structures and functionalities. As a result, we are facilitating the usage of external implementations for feature models and file formats within FeatureIDE. Additionally, we provide a Java library containing FeatureIDE's core functionalities, including feature modeling and configuration. This allows developers to use these functionalities in their own tools without relying on external dependencies, such as the Eclipse framework.
