Set Up the ProgramREST Project

Create the ProgramREST project

1. In Eclipse, click File > New > COBOL Project.
2. In the Project name field, type ProgramREST.
3. Check Use default location; then click Finish.

   The COBOL Explorer now shows the ProgramREST project.

Set build configuration properties ProgramREST

When Eclipse builds the ProgramREST project, you want the build action to produce a shared object (.so) library file. To ensure this behavior, you need to set the Build Configuration to the All Native Library Files target type:

1. In the COBOL Explorer, right-click the ProgramREST project; then select Properties from the context menu.
2. Expand Micro Focus > Build Configurations; then click Link.
3. From the Target Type drop-down list, select All Native Library Files; then click Apply and Close.

Add ScheduleDemo demonstration files to the project

1. From the COBOL Explorer, right-click the ProgramREST project and select Import > Import from the context menu.

   This opens the Import dialog box.

2. Expand General and click File System.
3. Click Next.
4. Click the Browse button that corresponds to the From directory field, and browse to the $COBDIR/opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL/demo/imtk/scheduledemo directory.
5. Click Open.
6. On the list of files, check all files except Readme files.
7. Click Finish.

   This adds the files to the project and builds the project automatically.
