A prototyping tool which facilitates the design of Java applets based on existing Java classes in the repository is developed and embedded into an eLearning platform. An input-output tree is proposed to graphically show the data flow from the input to output of a specific application. In the future, the possible direction of using such similar application as the proposed tool will assist the programmer to assemble the reusable software components from the repository, in which the source codes are generated automatically by means of automatic programming.
