Tutorial: Creating a Basic JVM COBOL Application

This tutorial is an introduction to developing JVM COBOL applications using Visual COBOL.

JVM COBOL applications are written in COBOL with extensions to support the JVM. JVM COBOL compiles to Java byte code. This enables you to use all the Objected-Oriented language features of JVM COBOL that provide seamless interoperation between COBOL and Java.

The tutorial follows a logical sequence of application development tasks to create a simple COBOL class that displays a message when run.
