To access the available project types, click either in the COBOL or the PL/I perspective, or by clicking and choosing one of the templates prefixed with Micro Focus.
If you are in the Team Developer perspective, click and choose one of the templates prefixed with Micro Focus. Alternatively, you can right-click Enterprise Development Projects in the Application Explorer view and choose from New COBOL Project or New PLI Project.
Enterprise Developer provides the following project types:
| Project type | Created using wizard | Project is used |
|---|---|---|
| COBOL | COBOL Project | To develop a COBOL application on the local machine that is compiled to native file formats (such as .int and .gnt). |
| COBOL JVM | COBOL JVM Project | To develop a COBOL application compiled to Java byte code. |
| COBOL JVM Unit Test | COBOL JVM Unit Test Project | To develop JUnit-style unit tests for JVM COBOL sources. |
| COBOL Remote | Remote COBOL Project
Set COBOL compilation target to Native code. |
To develop a COBOL application on a remote UNIX or Linux machine that is compiled to native file formats (such as .int and .gnt). |
| COBOL Remote JVM | Remote COBOL Project
Set COBOL compilation target to JVM byte code. |
To develop a COBOL application on a remote UNIX or Linux machine that is compiled to Java byte code. |
| COBOL Unit Test | COBOL Unit Test Project | To develop JUnit-style unit tests for native COBOL sources. |
| Copybook | COBOL Copybook Project | As a container for copybooks probably referenced by more than one project. This project type does not build any files itself. |
| Mainframe COBOL | Mainframe COBOL Project | To develop mainframe COBOL applications including support for mainframe-related file types on the local machine. |
| Mainframe PL/I | Mainframe PL/I Project | To develop a mainframe PL/I application that includes support for mainframe-related file types on the local machine. |
| PL/I | PL/I Project | To develop a PL/I application on the local machine. |
| Remote Copybook project | Remote COBOL Copybook Project | As a container on a remote UNIX or Linux machine for copybooks probably referenced by more than one project. |
| Remote Mainframe COBOL | Remote Mainframe COBOL Project | To develop mainframe COBOL applications that include support for mainframe-related file types on a remote UNIX or Linux machine. |
