Given the trend towards globalization in the software development industry, the complexity of distributed systems has increased, which needs a systematic approach to the development of distributed systems very important. This paper introduces taxonomy of software engineering tools for distributed projects and presents collaborative development environments, ranging from classic platforms for dispersed developers in open source software projects to modern environments for flexible and distributed processes. It eases the distributed system development, increases the portability of the software and improves the system maintenance and reliability.
