Eclipse development environment

Topaz Workbench is a modernized Eclipse-based development environment and an alternative to TSO/ISPF, enabling developers from a variety of technical backgrounds to be productive in a mainframe environment more quickly. It provides a common framework and integrated user interface from which to initiate BMC Compuware’s mainframe products as well as non-BMC Compuware and distributed products. Most IT organizations already use Eclipse for application development on non-mainframe technologies. Eclipse is ubiquitous in the industry as colleges and trade schools use it for its sophistication and no-cost availability.

Topaz Workbench can be run as a standalone Eclipse application or as a set of plug-ins that can be added directly to existing Eclipse developments or other Eclipse-based software such as IBM’s RDz.
