The Project Explorer view helps to manage OpenVMS projects, their dependencies, and settings. It is also possible to build, rebuild, and clean the project using the Project Explorer context menu.

Project Dependencies

Project types

  • executable - executable image is created
  • library - object library (OLB) is created
  • shareable - shareable image is created
  • java - project contains only Java files
  • kotlin - project contains only Kotlin files
  • scala - project contains only Scala files

Context Menu

  • Add to dependencies of selected - add the project you right-clicked to the previously selected project as a dependency
  • Remove project from dependencies - remove the selected project from dependencies of the main project
  • Build this project - build the current project
  • Build with dependencies - build the current project and all its dependencies
  • Clean this - clean current project only
  • Rebuild this project - rebuild the current project
  • Rebuild with dependencies - rebuild the current project and all its dependencies
  • Synchronize - synchronize the current project
  • Upload - upload the current project (if preferZip == true the ZIP will be used to upload files)

Creating MMS Files

VMS IDE can create MMS files automatically based on the project type and the types of its dependencies.
For shareable images, an options (OPT) file is created, but the universal symbol vector must be edited manually.
If the project depends on some shareable images, a COM file is created with logicals required for running the project.

Project Description

  • Local
    • folder - Workspace folder name
    • buildName - currently selected build configuration (right-click and select Change to choose another one)
