Eclipse Style COBOL Editor in IDz not Complaining About Empty ELSE statement

The z/OS COBOL compiler complains if an ELSE block contains no code. This is ok. The Eclipse Style COBOL editor does not complain if an ELSE block contains no code. This is not good because in such a case the programmers only notice their mistake if they do a real compile. Making the COBOL editor detect this Mistake earlier would save time and MIPS.

We are using the following IDz build:
IBM® Developer for z/OS®
Version: 14.2.2
Build id: 14.2.20.202003110207-436

If this can be fixed before the next release, a test fix would be highly appreciated.
