There are a lot of programs that are module based. Such programs contains of main structure (that manages modules and and let user work with them). For exampale netbeans. My question what is the name of this main structure? By other words there are modules and X? What is X?

By > other words there are modules and X? What is X? If the main structures in modules are just called "modules", then the main sturcture in the main module can be called "main module". Don't overthink it. Also, this way of organizing programs has something in common with the Facade pattern. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade_pattern The main module has some function which use other modules, which are not unlike the "doSomething()" function in the diagram. Therefore, there is justificaiton in calling X the program's "facade".

Indeed. Nevertheless, not everybody will immediately recognise this term with its architecture-derived meaning, as the word has more recently acquired a somewhat pejorative connotation. It might therefore be kinder to call the main module the "interface module". -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within
