1. A distributed resources understanding tool data processing system comprising: a computer with at least one processor and memory; an integrated development environment (IDE) configured for operation in a local development platform coupled to a remote host; a local implementation of a resource understanding tool coupled to the IDE; a remote implementation of the resource understanding tool associated with the remote host; and, resource understanding tool synchronization logic executing in the memory of the computer and comprising program code enabled to invoke the local implementation of the resource understanding tool, further invoking the remote implementation of the resource understanding tool, combine results sets produced by each of the local and remote implementations of the resource understanding tool to produce a composite results set, and render the composite results set in the IDE.
