Protocol buffers for COBOL

[Fady]

I started a new open source project called protobuf-cobol here:
http://code.google.com/p/protobuf-cobol/.

The rationale behind the project is developed here:
http://legstar.blogspot.fr/2012/05/protocol-buffers-for-mainframe.html.

Although considerably outdated, COBOL is still widely used around the
world so hopefully this will become one more Programming Language
entry in this list: http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/wiki/ThirdPartyAddOns.

Not sure if it is of any interest, I have the code needed to copy Protocol-Buffers to / from cobol in my projects

RecordEditor (http://record-editor.sourceforge.net/)
Protocol Buffers Editor (http://code.google.com/p/protobufeditor/)

It would be a case of putting code from the 2 projects together.

The RecordEditor has a copy Utility that can be run on line and in batch;
The Protocol-Buffer-Editor wraps protocol bufffers messages in a RecordEditor wrapper.

Note: The 2 projects are written in java.
