The diagram below shows an IDE organized as a Repository architecture. Which component acts as the central repository through which all other tools share data?
Correct Answer
Project Repository
Explanation
In the IDE repository architecture, the Project Repository is the central shared data store. All other tools — UML Editors, Code Generators, Design Translator, Java Editor, Python Editor, Design Analyser, and Report Generator — read from and write to this central repository rather than communicating with each other directly.
