I can accept (I guess) that the state of a project can't be automatically refreshed when files are changed by other-than-Eclipse. (Although I'm sort of surprised that what looks like a simple problem seems to have stumped so many people.) But what's very aggravating is going through this series of steps: 1. Hitting (right-clicking) "Team > Sychronize..." on a project 2. (Forgetting to refresh) 3. Getting the (rather unfriendly) complaint about the project being out of sync with the filesystem 4. Having to return to another view (Resource, Java, whatever) where "Refresh" is available as an option 5. Then returning to Team Synchronization to complete the task. In some ideal universe, I could just do step 1 and get where I want. (For instance, the IDE would recognize this out-of-sync condition and refresh for me.) But to at least make the universe livable, it would be great to have a button, right-click menu option, whatever -- something, somewhere in the Team Synchronization view so that I could refresh from there.
The state of a project can be automatically refresh. All you need to do is enable the "Refresh automatically" preference on the General/Workspace prefeence page. As for the request to refresh from the sync view, this is covered by bug 73260. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73260 ***
