Description David Pérez

Some IDE I know, like IntelliJ have a feature of automatically detecting files 
changed in the outside, even if they aren't opened in a editor.  Win32 has an 
API to let applications receive events when a file has been updated, created or 
deleted.

Many times I create with 3rd party tools a new file, for example a new zip file 
containing the source code of a JAR I'm using, and open the select source 
location dialog of a JAR, and have to close it, refresh the file list and re-
open it again, so that Eclipse knows about the existence of a new file.

Meanwhile, could be in every dialog where a file or directory must be chosen, a 
button to refresh resources?
