Hi,
NetWeaver Development Infrastructure (NWDI),  supports development in arbitrarily large projects. No matter what type of entity you are building, you can:
•     Organize your development items in Software Components (SCs) and Development Components (DCs)
•     Exchange DCs with the Design-time Repository (DTR), which is responsible for source-code management
•     Delegate the build process to the Component Build Service (CBS) that runs a central build, automatically using all the latest library versions, and
•     Trigger the transport of completed DCs to the next level of system, e.g. from development to test, and from test to release systems (CMS).
The NWDI in its full version will contain: a source repository (Design Time Repository, DTR), a deployment tool (Software Deployment Manger, SDM), a service to guarantee uniqueness of names (Name Service), the Component Build Service (CBS) for a central build, and the Change Management Service (CMS) to set up development landscapes and handle all steps in the software life-cycle. The Java Dictionary supports the global definition of tables and data types.
Using a central infrastructure reduces development time and completeness by providing a consistent environment for the whole software life-cycle.
It provides several development scenario:
•     1.Team-Oriented Development
•     2.Development with Components
•     3.Layered Development
Above all using NWDI you can create your own development components,Software units from exsisting ones, that saves lots of time.
All Business Packages can be modified via NWDI only.
