I'm trying to download Visual Cobol for Eclipse Personal Edition but the only option that appears is for Visual Studio. What happened with Visual Studio for Eclipse? Microfocus has disabled this product? What happens to those who can't afford the expensive Microsoft licenses?

Hi jsilickas,

The website appears to be offering me the choice of Visual Studio or Eclipse support.

This is the address I used and I clicked "Trial Download" at the top right.

Hopefully this gets you what you need but also, keep in mind, Microsoft now offer a community edition of Visual Studio 2015. For many users, they would qualify to use this free of charge.
