perforce eclipse plugin preference to checkout a file when editing

I'm new to perforce. we integerated the perforce eclipse plugin in PC for the development. We use eclipse plugin for all the P4 operation. I downloaded my workspace code into my local PC and using eclipse for the development.When i edit the file using eclipse, i would like eclipse plugin to checkout the file automatically. Looks like there is a preference already under team->perforce Enable support for Workbench save operations.

I tried this option but its not working for me. is it the right option?

Could someone please help me.

Thanks, Venkataraman
