I just learned about the eclipse platform and how IBM has quite a product line (Rational Developer) that transfers z/OS development activities to it.
Are there any open source alternatives ?
I've searched the forum (and googled the net) and there doesn't seem to be anything current. |

Hard to believe. . .
What might you have searched for? I used IBM rational developer and got 5 million hits. I suspect the very first one might be what you want:
Click on Rational App Developer of follow this link

Thank you for the reply papadi - Hard to believe indeed - I was asking for an alternative to the IBM offering.
I'm assuming that they are offering a product for sale, I would like an Open Source alternative. |

Quote: | Are there any open source alternatives ? | Suggest you clarify exactly what you are looking for. . . There is no free RDZ that i'm aware of, but there are many free COBOL compilers. Depending on just how much you want to do, you can even run a mainframe on your pc for free (look at Hercules).
If you post something more specific, someone will probably have a suggestion. _________________ All the best,

'Suggest you clarify exactly what you are looking for. . .'
Editing, file management, submitting jcl to batch on the Eclipse platform.
That's what development activities are.
Thanks for the tip on Hercules. Have been running it for years. There is also a zCobol that runs on Windows or Linux. |

It's unlikely you'll find such alternative.
But you can try to use RSE. In fact, RDz uses it (z/OS implementation) and if you find separate plugins then you'll be able to do file browsing and JCL submitting.
I submit JCLs and work with files by means of ftp invoked via ant build files. |

I was toying with the idea of writing my own plugins... since there doesn't appear to be anything available. |
