Visual COBOL provides the following new functionality and improvements:
- Support for Eclipse 4.2 and 4.3 -
Visual COBOL ships with Eclipse 3.8 but also supports Eclipse 4.2 and 4.3 (the 32-bit IDE only). To use
Visual COBOL with a newer version of Eclipse, you need to install
Visual COBOL first and then use the
installeclipseplugins.bat script in
%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Micro Focus\Visual COBOL\installer (Windows) or
installeclipseplugins script in
/opt/microfocus/VisualCOBOL/installer (UNIX). See
Installing into other instances of Eclipse for more details.
- Remote JVM COBOL projects - this release provides enhanced support for remote JVM COBOL projects.
- Remote project connections - the diagnosis tool for remote connection issues has been improved. There is now a client-side diagnosis tool and a server-side diagnosis tool for diagnosing connection problems to remote projects and connections to your
Micro Focus Visual COBOL Development Hub. You should run both tools for a complete diagnosis.
