Question

I am new in eclipse plugin development. I want to refresh my workspace or complete Eclipse programmatically . so is there any to refresh eclipse programmatically.

Answer 1

Use the IResource.refreshLocal() API. You can do this at project root, a particular folder or an individual file. To refresh all projects in a workspace, simply enumerate all projects using ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProjects() API and refresh each in turn.

Answer 2

Here is a quick snippet to refresh each project in the Eclipse workspace.

for(IProject project : ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot().getProjects()){
    project.refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE, new NullProgressMonitor());
}
