Eclipse: Refresh workspace automatically
When we run a test case or execute the entire script directly within Eclipse — we would like to see the fresh execution Report/log file or any other refreshed resource but by default, projects don’t automatically refresh.
I find it very useful to turn on the “Refresh” option so that Eclipse can automatically perform the refresh. This option is shown below: Windows →Preferences->General →Workspace →Select “Refresh using native hooks or polling”
I wonder why this preference isn’t selected by default when it’s so friendly.
Check this link to find the difference between “Refresh using native hooks or polling” and “Refresh on access”: https://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-9.htm
Note* Have heard that at times it does require force refresh on Mac especially with Mars and lesser versions.
