Hello,

In eclipse you've to frequently refresh all the projects, to synch with operation done on the file system direcly, to synch projects that have liked sources linkede, ...

To do so I select the priject, right click and then choose refresh

The problem is that refresh is near to close, so sometimes by mistake instead of clicking on refresh I close all the 10 projects we've. Reopening them starts a rebuild, that takes some minutes. 

Is it possible to customize the menu that you get when you right click on a project? Or better is it possible to have the workspace automatically check for refresh more frequently? 

many thanks

Best regards

Bartolomeo


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select all projects
2.instead of choosing refresh choose the next menu item, close projects
3.reopen the closed projects

There is an option Preferences -> General -> Workspace | "Refresh automatically". That option has a note:

"Note: This can potentially be a lengthy operation depending on the number of resources you have in your workspace. "

Or, can you use a keyboard shortcut? I think it is "F5" by default for refresh.
