The settings you specify on the
Builder preferences page (Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > Builder) enable you to configure how building works in Eclipse and apply to all projects.
- Default Platform Target
- Specify if the program should be compiled as a 32 bit or 64 bit version. This will depend on platform support and your requirements.
- COBOL indexer options
- Specify whether the IDE should detect copybook usage within your COBOL programs. This information is used by the
Copybook Dependency view.
- Enable indexer - enabled by default.
Warning: Disabling this option can have undesired side-effects, such as stopping incremental builds from noticing changes made to copybooks,
or causing the 'find references' feature to not discover all data item references when invoked from a copybook that is used
by multiple programs.
- Console output
- Specify whether to limit the number of characters in the notifications in the
Console view. Using an unlimited or a very large buffer can affect build performance.
- Limit console output - enabled by default.
- Console buffer size (characters) - set to 80000 by default.
- COBOL JVM options
-
- Package to subdirectory matching - By default, this specifies that each part of the package name corresponds to a subdirectory. Enabled by default, and also
always enabled for Maven projects. This setting can be overridden in the JVM section of the build configuration of a COBOL
JVM project.
- Build file options
[1]
-
- Preserve Ant build file for Maven projects - When selected, and you import a project that contains a Maven nature/pom.xml file, a
.cobolBuild file is automatically generated (refresh the project to view it in COBOL Explorer). When this option is not selected (the
default setting), a
.cobolBuild is not automatically created on import for projects that contain a
pom.xml file.
