Abstract
Software developers spend a large part of their working time using an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). However, IDEs are usually disconnected from the means of communication programmers use to interact and discuss with other co-workers. Because of this, many context switches are required and the existing connection between source code artifacts and artifacts generated from recorded communications, such as e-mails, cannot be effectively put to good use.In this paper, we introduce Remail, an Eclipse plugin to integrate e-mail communication in the IDE. It allows developers to seamlessly handle source code entities and e-mails concerning the source code. We present our preliminary work on Remail that allows linking source code classes to the e-mails in which they are discussed, thus providing an updated and effective documentation.
