[cobol-dev] how to fix some issues ?

[ext-sebastien.ratel@xxxxxxx]

Hi guys,

I just dl the cobol project cause I have to maintain a cobol app in a VAX environment.
I installed the plugin, created a project and a cobol source in which I have copy/paste the code of one of my .cob programs.
And I have some issue : 
- the comments line aren't recognized because they are materialized with a * and not a *> ;
- the environment, data and procedure divisions are recognized in the outline but the sections are not and I just see a ? in the outline for some sections (and there is not a ? for each section) ;

So I tried to dl the source code and modify it to fix some issue (at least the comment lines) but I can't export a useful plug in fragment.
When I start my eclipse with my cobol project I can see 4 error messages saying "an internal error occured" and when I look at the detail of the error I have the lines below :

I use eclipse 3.0.1 and no additional plugin atm but I intend to use a clearcase plugin and perhaps an oracle plugin in a really near future.

Can anyone help me plz ? A simple explanation about how to export the plugin fragment would be great.

btw : I tried to use the cvs repository but my firewall doesn't allow me to reach it so I was not able to just import the plugin fragments projects.
