Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method of visualizing customizations to a computer system having types modeled with model elements, comprising: receiving an indication of a user selection input, at a development and customization system, indicative of a selected model element to be visualized as a current extension model, the current extension model modeling customizations of the selected model element from a base model; and instructing a display device to display an integrated view of the selected model element that visually identifies the base model corresponding to the selected model element and visually identifies customizations to the selected model element made in the current extension model, separately from the base model, the current extension model being customizable from the integrated view and the base model being viewable from the integrated view, the integrated view including a hierarchical tree view having parent and child nodes indicative of items in the selected model element, each node having a visual model indication indicating a model to which it belongs, the integrated view identifying other customizations to the selected model element, other than those modeled in the current extension model, as belonging to other extension models, by identifying the other customizations separately from the base model and separately from the customizations in the current extension model, and by displaying a visual customization model indication identifying a model in which each node in the hierarchical tree view has been customized.
