I have a workspace with a bunch of java projects. If I go to File->Refresh
, it doesn't really refresh anything (perhaps the currently selected project). How do I get eclipse to refresh all of the projects?
When a new file is created in Eclipse you might need to refresh the Eclipse project to see the new file. This refresh process can take place automatically. To set auto-refresh, go to window → preferences → general → workspace and check the "Refresh using native hooks or polling" check-box.
One way to fix a corrupted eclipse workspace is to delete the folder <workspace location>\. metadata\. plugins\org.
From eclipse.org, select Projects > Eclipse Project > Platform > Core, and then look for the workspace restorer plug-in on the development resources page. Be sure to also enter a bug report in the Eclipse Bugzilla with any available log information to help prevent such disasters from happening to others!
It will indeed only refresh the current project (or, more specifically, the current selection in the project explorer). I just click somewhere in the project explorer, do Ctrl+A to select all projects and then press F5 to achieve a complete refresh.
