Maven for native and mainframe COBOL, and PL/I projects

This section explains how to incorporate your native and mainframe COBOL projects, native unit testing projects, and PL/I projects into a Maven lifecycle.

Before you configure these, you should ensure that you have a full version of Maven installed and on your PATH, and (for Windows only) that Apache Ant is also on the PATH.

Configure your project's POM file to use the maven-antrun-plugin plugin so that Maven builds can execute your ant-based build scripts. Additionally, there are some Micro Focus-related dependencies that must be installed into your Maven repository, to allow the project to build.
