It is now possible to convert
Net Express projects into Eclipse projects and use them with
Visual COBOL. To do this, use the
Net Express Project Import and Convert Wizard available from
. The wizard analyzes the
Net Express project file and its configuration settings, creates Eclipse projects based on this information, imports the existing source code into them, and sets the requisite project and file properties from the original
Net Express project.
Note: If you import a
Net Express project that uses functionality that is not supported in
Visual COBOL, the wizard will still produce
an Eclipse project. In some cases you might be able to perform additional steps (such as editing source files, installing AddPacks, or reworking parts of the application) in order to successfully compile and run it.
See
Converting Net Express Projects to Eclipse Projects for more information about the limitations of the wizard.
