Installing Micro Focus Modelling Support for Eclipse

Application Workflow Manager (AWM) is an integral feature of Micro Focus Enterprise Developer and Visual COBOL. It enables you to model and seamlessly integrate application development tools into the Eclipse views that developers work with. AWM provides the means to integrate a customer-specific application workflow in the developer's view without any programming requirement.

The modelling support offered by AWM is available as a standalone feature that can be installed into any other Eclipse IDE, for example, into IBM Developer for z Systems (IDz).
