Configuring other Eclipse client options

Configure the other Developer for z/OS® tools for your Eclipse client workspace.

Updating workspace configurations and preferences
The server can be configured to automatically download configuration and preference updates to the client. When updates are available, the client is prompted to install the updates when you connect to a remote system.
Adding capabilities to the workbench
IBM® Developer for z/OS is configured to enable a set of capabilities that support traditional mainframe development in Assembler, COBOL, and PL/I languages. The Eclipse workbench includes additional capabilities that support development in other languages such as C/C++ and Java™. Use the General > Capabilities preference page to enable other capabilities that are not exposed in the default Developer for z/OS client configuration.
Setting preferences for z/OS tools
Several categories of preference settings directly affect z/OS application development in the z/OS Integrated Development Environment.
Supporting bidirectional languages
Developer for z/OS provides tools that help you develop applications that use bidirectional languages like Arabic and Hebrew.
