Re: [cobol-dev] plug-in roadmap

[jd@xxxxxxxxx]

Hello Alexander,

as far as I know the windows plug-in never worked. I am currently 
investigating into the Linux plug-in, but there is incompatibility of 
framework 3.2 and  plugin, which is older. You should also know, that 
there is no such thing as a free compiler or debugger for COBOL. This is 
different from the C++ project. There is not much hope for a free version 
of an IDE as you can see from the number of replies. I wonder if Eclipse 
works for AIX or UX - it is a matter of the manufacturers. Which is your 
target machine? Also consider different dialects of the ANSI language 
standard. I am working on a COBOL IDE and need some help Till works. The 
path for Columbo is: a) OS command line tool b) windows IDE c) Eclipse IDE 
d) other machines and languages.

Regards
Jens
