The INDEX file extension is a common data file type that is associated with Eclipse, an integrated development environment platform. It is a text-based file format that is used by the files found within the Eclipse project to store various kinds of indexes for quick lookup of resources or fields within a project. The contents of an INDEX file can be viewed using any text editor, but can only be used by applications specifically designed to work with the INDEX format.
Contents and Structure of an INDEX File
An INDEX file usually contains information about the structure and content of a project, including references to resources, classes, methods, constants, and other code elements. The structure of an INDEX file follows the same basic format as other types of text-based files such as XML files, but the exact format of the contents may differ between versions of the Eclipse platform. Usually the contents of an INDEX file are coded in plain text and organized by element type, making it easy to read and understand.

Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .INDEX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .INDEX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .INDEX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .INDEX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .INDEX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .INDEX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .INDEX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .INDEX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .INDEX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .INDEX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
