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

MMS creating

VMS IDE may create MMS files automatically based on the project type and on types of projects which it depends on. For shareable images, the OPT file will be created, but the universal symbol vector must be edited so that other images could link to this image. If the project depends on some shareable images, the COM file will be created with logicals needed to run this project.
