Can Eclipse refresh resources automatically?

by

This issue will be fixed in Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo). While “Refresh Automatically” does eventually bring resources back into sync, the refresh hook only exists for Windows, so on Linux and Mac OS it has to poll the filesystem periodically.

From 3.7 there’s a new preference Settings > General > Workspace > Refresh On Access (aka Lightweight Refresh). This preference causes Eclipse to automatically refresh resources when it discovers that they’re ‘out-of-sync’. When opening, reading or searching files, it’ll prevent out-of-sync errors from occurring.
