General preferences

The settings you specify on the General preferences page (Window > Preferences > Micro Focus > General) apply to all Visual COBOL projects.

Update indexing data when a program is refreshed
When this option is selected, any source file that has been modified externally to Eclipse will be re-indexed (dependencies updated, etc...) when the item (or its parent folder, project, etc...) is selected and refreshed within the IDE.
Note: If the file is already open in an editor, within the IDE, when it is also updated externally, the re-indexing occurs automatically.
