Lesson 7: Creating a shared zComponent Project

Edit online

Now that you have defined your build environment, you must create and share a zComponent Project. A zComponent Project is a specialized Eclipse project that contains z/OS® artifacts–source files, link-edit files, and so forth–and build metadata that are used when you perform builds on a z/OS system. In this lesson, you will create a zComponent Project to contain your COBOL source code, and then share the project with your team.
