hi all,

Is there a way to let know MF plugin (enterprise Developer for Eclipse, actually) taht files w/out extensions are INCLUDE files, and they should be treated as copybooks.

Ive tried to add type (eclipse eindows->preferences->general->content types-> text->microfocus project types-> cobol copy book) but it doesnt allow..

Thanks in advance,

Alex

    Hi Alex,

    The content type support in Eclipse that we use for identifying files is dependent on file extensions.  As you will have seen when trying to add a new extension to the content type list for COBOL copybooks, trying to enter a type without an extension is not permitted.  This is an Eclipse restriction.

    Without knowing your code, I can't say whether it would be desirable to suggest looking into renaming your copyfiles with a .cpy extension or not.  A lot would depend on if you are migrating or offloading the code from the mainframe.

    Hi Darren,

    i was hoping there is some solution on MF side. I am aware that eclipse doesnt allow content type w/out extension (except poking with plugin contributions).

    Thak a lot,

    Alex
