John,
This won't be interesting for most people on ibm-main, but for many years
we have used:
Workstation - we use Linux, but these also work on Mac/Windows
- IDE (Eclipse plus CDT and some other plugins), although any IDE / editor
that you like would be fine. Jetbrains has some cools stuff.
- Eclipse CVS integration for SCCS (although starting today I would
pick Git)
- Ant scripts for workstation automation, including now our own Ant
ssh/sftp task - incremental(**) uploads/downloads and remote z/OS command
scripting ( like "make").
With Co:Z SFTP you can also Ant script job submission, waiting for
completion, parsing output.
(see: "Ant ssh task" https://dovetail.com/community.html)
z/OS -
- z/OS SFTP
- zFS file system for all source (C/C++, Java, assembler)
- Makefiles for build scripts
- Unix shell (via ssh)
- TSO for
If you want to think about the direction of things, take a look at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud9_IDE
- I think that it would be very interesting to port the target back-end
stuff to z/OS and maybe add some z/OS specific front-end language syntax
editor support.
