Description Oyvind Harboe CLA 2003-10-01 06:01:54 EDT 
I forgot to do a refresh before I did a team->synchronize and I then manually 
have to delete the error message from the progress view.

I'll attach a picture.

This is the temporary UI placeholder indicating that a background job has
reported an error. It's pretty ugly, eh :)

When a job returns an error it is usually important information though.

Transfering to UI to remind them to fix this icon.

What I can't fathom is why team->synchronize does not force a refresh before it
does a team->synchronzie in the first place.

This is in particular annoyging when working with tools that frequently modify
files "behind " Eclipse back.

E.g. when I'm using CDT there are lots of tools that I use that modify files
under CVS that Eclipse does not and never will know about(embedded work, way to
specialized tools).

You could say this about a lot of operations in Eclipse :) Basically, Eclipse 
sucks at keeping in sync with the file-system. On the possitive side, there is 
a 3.0 plan item to address this.
