COBOL in WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer 5.0 1

[GarethKruse]

Hello,

even though I've been searching for an answer to my following question for a long time, I've not been able to find yet:

Does anybody know, whether one can program with COBOL (for Windows, NOT for the mainframe) in the WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer 5.0 environment?

Thank you in advance.

Gareth

Hi GarethKruse,

According to

http://www.itworld.com/AppDev/594/020924websphere5/,

"Version 5.0 of IBM Corp.'s WebSphere Studio software for developing Web applications [features] new tools for working with legacy applications written in COBOL".

The Eclipse project upon which the Websphere Studio was built has more than one COBOL solution available.

A list of eclipse plug-ins can be accessed at

http://www.eclipse.org/community/plugins.html

The list includes: Fujitsu - Interstage -

Fujitsu will release an eclipse-based version of APWORKS, an IDE supporting Java and COBOL for Fujitsu's Interstage application server.
