Within the Mjolner project (a scandinavian project involving a number of
universities and companies) a number of subprojects focused on incremental
techniques. The Mjolner Beta System features a structured editor, which
edits abstract syntax trees directly, and a semantic analyzer works in the
back- ground, evaluating the tree.


Another environment, the Mjolner ORM environment, features incremental
compilation and linking; while running the debugger, you can go back to
the editor and do some fixes which will be reflected "immediately" in the
debugger.


A thorough description of these environments (and more) was to be
published by Prentice-Hall sometime this year, but I havn't heard anything
about it. I think the book is called


    "Object-Oriented Software Development Environments - The Mjolner Approach"
