This tutorial introduces you to the main steps required to use Enterprise Developer to develop a COBOL JVM application. A COBOL JVM application is one which is written in COBOL, but compiled to Java byte code. This enables you to use all the objected-oriented language features of managed COBOL, as well as enabling seamless interoperation between COBOL and Java.
The tutorial follows a logical sequence of application development tasks to create a simple COBOL class that displays a message when run. Use the Next and Previous links to move between the tutorial steps.
