HP Integrity NonStop J-Series - Manual (Page 128)

NonStop Project Explorer view
The NonStop Project Explorer view displays the contents of your projects, whether they are remote
or local to Windows. Projects are displayed in a tree structure, where the root node is your project
folder, and where your project folder contains additional folders and files which may or may not
be in your local workspace.
You can perform many tasks from the NonStop Project Explorer view, including:
•
Creating new projects, files, and folders
•
Managing existing files (editing, deleting, moving, and renaming)
•
Opening files in an editor
•
Importing and exporting files and projects
•
Browsing the contents of some project elements such as C/C++ source files and object files
The NonStop Project Explorer extends the C/C++ Projects view for NonStop development by
adding context menu items and icons specific to NonStop development. More specifically, the
NonStop Project Explorer adds the following items to the C/C++ Projects view context menu:
•
New submenu items specific to creating projects, folders, and files for NonStop development,
including the ability to create and open remote folders and files in remote NonStop projects.
•
A Deploy Project menu item for invoking make deploy, which in turn transfers a project's
final build object to NonStop.
•
Delete, Move... and Rename... menu items that work for local as well as remote projects.
•
An Open menu item that opens COBOL and pTAL editors.
The NonStop Project Explorer view also adds the following icons:
What it represents... Icon
NonStop managed or makefile project
NonStop remote makefile project
COBOL source file
pTAL source file
Remote NonStop executable
For more information about the C/C++ Project view, see the C/C++ Development User Guide.
COBOL and pTAL editors
COBOL and pTAL editors are text editors with language-specific syntax highlighting added. These
editors provide basic Eclipse editor functionality and can be configured using Eclipse preferences.
For example, you can use:
•
The Keys preference page (Window
→Preferences→General→Keys) to change key bindings
for COBOL and pTAL editors.
•
The Text Editors page (Window
→Preferences→General→Keys) to change undo history size,
tab width, whether line numbers are shown, and so on.
•
The Code Templates page (Window
→Preferences→C/C++→Code Templates) to change the
template applied to new COBOL and pTAL files. COBOL and pTAL editors do not have the
full range of features available in C/C++ editors.
