Create a Native Enterprise Developer Project

Create the solution and project in which your RM/COBOL source code will be imported.
  1. Launch Enterprise Developer. Specify a path for the Eclipse workspace when prompted.

    If this is the first time you start Eclipse, you now see the Eclipse Welcome page which you can close.

    By default, the IDE should start in the COBOL perspective indicated by the button in the right upper corner of the IDE. Perspectives are Eclipse concept and they include the views, menus and options relevant to your activity. The COBOL perspective shows the COBOL Explorer, Outline and Console views, among others. The perspective is customizable, so you can choose your own views.

  2. If the IDE does not start in the COBOL perspective, to change to it, click Window > Open Perspective > Other, click COBOL (default), and then click OK.
  3. Select File > New > COBOL Project .

    The COBOL Project wizard is displayed.

  4. In the Project name field, specify a name for the project.
  5. Click Finish.

    The project is created, and displayed in the COBOL Explorer.
