Hello all,

Last 2 years we develop IDE for COBOL developers. Now I would like to
present it for you. You can download it from our website
(http://www.lemosoft.com) and install it on your PC to evaluate.

It is written in Java and works under Eclipse so you can use it on
different platforms.

Here some features that could be interesting for you.
-Debugger (RM/COBOL and Fujitsu NetCOBOL 7)
-Compiler Integration (RM/COBOL, Fujitsu NetCOBOL 7, MF NetExpress 4,
IBM VA COBOL)
-COBOL Editor
-Project Management
-Context COBOL help
-...

Please let me know if you have any questions, advices, comments and so
on.

I wish you had released this 3 months ago... I was looking for, at the
very least, a COBOL syntax highlighter for Eclipse. The screenshots and
Flash demo certainly look very impressive. Is it a stand-alone product, or
do I need to already have a compiler installed?

Hello Oliver,

Probably you did not know our IDE. Version 1.0 has been released 1 year
ago.

The IDE uses different COBOL compilers (MFNetExpress 4, RM/COBOL 8/9,
IBM VA COBOL, Fujitsu NetCOBOL 7). It has no integrated compiler, so
you need to have a compiler installed.

There is still the Cobol Plugins directly from Eclipse. If you just need
a syntax highlighter its more or less ok. If you are working with
"older" Cobol the Code Completion doesn't work since it uses Objects. :-(

Yes, there is the COBOL Plugin, but their editor is very simple. IMHO
our editor is better :-) The most impressive feature is syntax analysis
on the fly. It checks cobol sources during editing (without compiler).

But don't forget the cost though ;-)

I had *SOME* COBOL plugin for Eclipse (don't know if it was *FROM*
Eclipse), but it was rather painful to use because it didn't let me edit the
first 6 columns (the sequence number area), and since I'm working on
compiler tools, I sometimes have to work with intentionally broken COBOL
files, so I really needed the freedom to put any text anywhere.

You can try our editor (for free) and decide if it is deserved some
money or not :-)

Well, in order to identify if your plugin from Eclipse take a look on
Eclipse/plugins folder. Is there any org.eclipse.cobol.* or
com.fujitsu.netcobol.* folder? If yes, you have Eclipse COBOL plugin
:-)

Our editor enables to switch off automatic line numbering so you will
be able to use number area.

That is really a pain. But thank god I'm actually a java coder and can
switch it off using a hammer ;-)
