DESCRIPTION
Why and how optimize the work of experienced IBM Mainframe SW developers and at the same time motivating young SW developers to work on this platform? The answer could be a full Eclipse based Workbench with all inherent facilities, combined with an easy access to proven tools for compiling, debugging and managing in this specific environment. The presented content will be of value for all IBM Mainframe SW development teams and decision takers.
