What are the steps to add an external tool or integrate a utility such as JDBC2FD into the isCOBOL IDE? |
This is best illustrated with an example.
To integrate JDBC2FD into the isCOBOL IDE:
- Open "External Tools Configurations" (From the menubar select Run > External Tools > External Tools Configurations...)
- Create a new Configuration with name "jdbc2fd" (click on "Program" in the tree-view and then click the leftmost toolbar button)
- Set Location to "C:Program FilesVeryantisCOBOL2009binisrun.exe"
- Set Working Directory to "${workspace_loc:/
/cpy}" (Click on "Browse Workspace" and select the cpy folder)
-
Set Arguments to "JDBC2FD"
-
Click on the Refresh tab and check "Refresh resources upon completion"
-
(optional) Click on the Build tab and uncheck "Build before launch"
-
(optional) Click on the Common tab and put a checkmark in the box in "Display in favorites menu"
-
"Apply" and close the window or "Run"
-
Run the "jdbc2fd" configuration (Run - External Tools - jdbc2fd)
When the utility generates the copy files in the cpy folder specified as "Working Directory", they are automatically added to the workspace.
In the JDBC2FD utility you need to specify a driver and a connection URL. For example, to connect to Microsoft SQL Server you might use the following settings:
Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
URL: jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;user=myuser;password=mypassword;DatabaseName=mydatabase
The driver must be found in the class path. To add a directory to the class path for this tool:
-
Edit the "jdbc2fd" external tool configuration
-
Click on the Environment tab
-
Click on the Select button
-
Check CLASSPATH and click OK
-
Select the CLASSPATH variable and click Edit...
-
Add a semicolon followed by the directory at the end of the Value field
For example, to use the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver add the following to CLASSPATH:
;C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driversqljdbc_1.2enusqljdbc.jar
