12. A computer implemented method for generating a component product extensible markup language (XML) file to be used in performing a component product integration synchronization, comprising: (a) identifying a component product for which a component product XML file is to be generated; (b) reading a tag in a component product XML schema; (c) identifying the tag read in operation (b) as representing an executor tag; (d) in response to operation (c), running an executor specified by the executor tag to retrieve data pertinent to installation of the component product from an install unit associated with the component product without running the install unit, wherein the install unit of the component product includes instructions and data for installing the given component product in a stand-alone manner; (e) in response to operation (d), storing the retrieved data in the component product XML file; (f) identifying the tag read in operation (b) as representing a static data tag; (g) in response to operation (f), retrieving static data associated with the static data tag from a static data source that includes data which is not subject to variation among different component products; (h) in response to operation (g), storing the retrieved static data in the component product XML file; and (i) repeating operations (b) through (h) until each tag instance in the component product XML schema has been read once and in a sequential manner beginning with a first tag present in the component product XML schema.

A computer implemented method for generating a component product XML file to be used in performing a component product integration synchronization as recited in claim 12 , wherein the component product XML file includes, a section for identifying the component product and a platform required by the component product, a section for identifying sub-components of the component product, a section for identifying install units of the identified sub-components of the component product, a section for specifying dependencies between the component product and other component products, and a section for specifying resources required by the component product and the identified sub-components of the component product.
