Software production line can be created by integrated framework which can integrate software tools, software components, software services, and collaboration mechanism. It can be used as one of the important software reuse techniques. This paper provides the definitions and differentiations of software product line, software production line and plugin architecture. A platform independent model of the software production line integrated framework, that is based on the plugin architecture, is put forward. In the end, a runtime monitoring software production line is developed according to this model, to verify the correctness of the model.
