Even if you turn on the preference "General/Workspace/Refresh automatically", eclipse displays "Resource out of sync with the file system ... Press 'F5' ..". Of course the whole point of this option is that you never ever want see this message. So eclipse should do a refresh by itself.

This is in practice quite annoying to me and my coworkers and appears regularily in the following cases (and probably more):
- if you open a project and immediately try to open a file (the automatic refresh is not done yet)
- if you open a logfile of a server that is currently running

It would be nice if you could fix this. Thanks so much!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn preference "General/Workspace/Refresh automatically"
2. open a file in the workspace that changes very frequently

To create a file that changes very frequently you can for instance execute
while true; do echo > frequentlychangingfile; done
in a bash.

Perhaps bug 268797 is somewhat related.
