To access the available project types, click either File > New in the COBOL perspective, or by clicking File > New > Other and choosing one of the templates prefixed with Micro Focus.

Visual COBOL 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.
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.
