1. A method for exchanging files and/or information for an overall development project between two development projects, the method comprising:

  • providing a computer system that includes a first development environment with a first development project and a second development environment with a second development project to develop software for an electronic control unit, the computer system having a first memory region, in which a number of different types of files belonging to a first development project, and a first file collection container or set of containers, which contains all files relevant for the overall development project and belonging to the first development project, are stored;

    providing, in the first development environment, a first management unit, in which initial information for all files belonging to the first development project are stored;

    checking, via the first management unit for the purpose of export, whether all files relevant to the overall development project and belonging to the first development system are inserted in a current version in the first file collection;

    updating, via a management unit, the first file collection, in that all files relevant to the overall development project and belonging to the first development system are included in a most recent version in the first file collection or left in the current version and deleting obsolete files;

    providing the updated first file collection to the second development environment, the second development environment having a second management unit, in which second information on all files belonging to the second development project are stored, the computer system having a second memory region, in which a number of different types of files belonging to the second development project and a second file collection, in which all files relevant to the overall development project and belonging to the second development project are included, are stored,synchronizing and/or updating, via the second management unit, the second file collection and the files belonging to the second development project via the exported first data collection and importing the updated files into the second development project;

    storing a rule set in the first memory region and/or in the second memory region, the exporting of the first file collection and/or the importing of the second file collection occurs by the respective management unit according to the rules defined in the rule set;

    defining different types of files and categories for the different types of files in the rule set; and

    assigning via the first management unit, during the incorporation of files in the file collection, at least one category to the file.
