Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Overview isCOBOL offers developers the choice of continuing to use their current editor, command line utilities, and scripts for source code control and builds or leveraging the isCOBOL Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Enabling rapid COBOL application development, the isCOBOL IDE includes a COBOL source editor, complete with COBOL syntax highlighting, compiling, and project handling, providing a single, flexible environment for all COBOL development tasks (design, coding, testing and debugging) in the open and extensible Eclipse framework.
