Creating an Eclipse Project for the RM/Panels Application

The first task is to create a project.
  1. Launch Enterprise Developer. Specify a path for the Eclipse workspace when prompted.

    If this is the first time you start Eclipse, the IDE displays the Eclipse Welcome page. Click Open Team Developer Perspective which is the default perspective in Enterprise Developer.

    If the IDE does not start in the Team Developer perspective, to change to it, click Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other, click Team Developer (default), and then click Open.

    Perspectives are an Eclipse concept and they include the views, menus, and options relevant to your activity. The Team Developer perspective shows the Application Explorer view, Outline, and Console views, among others. The perspective is customizable, so you can choose your own views.

  2. Select File > New > Other.

    The New dialog box is displayed.

  3. Expand Micro Focus COBOL folder, and then click COBOL Project.
  4. Click Next.

    The New COBOL Project dialog box is displayed.

  5. In the Project name field, type vc_qdemo.
  6. Click Finish.

    The project is created, and displayed in the Application Explorer view.
