If I have changed one of my source files using a mechanism outside Eclipse, my workspace is said to be "out of synch" with respect to that file. When I run "Team / Synchronize with Repository" using CVS while my workspace is out of synch, I get an error message but it's not very specific. It says: ERROR: Synchronizing : CVS Workspace In order to find out what had happened, I had to go to the Error Log view. It clearly says this: An error occurred refreshing <directory name>: Problem accessing resource: <path name>. Resource is out of sync with the file system: <project name> That clear, specific message should appear in the UI somewhere. After all, people who aren't doing plug-in development don't usually see the Error Log at all. Better would be to detect this explicitly and offer to synchronize the workspace before synchronizing with the repository.
