Description Marc Boily CLA 2002-09-24 10:28:12 EDT 
Hi,

It's possible for eclipse to discover files added outside by other application 
like Windows explorer ??? without make a refresh in Java perspective !

The refresh take a lot of time and some developers here, do not miss this 
time ...

Help me please !

Refresh only takes time if there is anything to refresh. At least this is the 
expectation. So what you are suggesting wouldn't work.

Can you provide steps to reproduce ?
Comment 2 Marc Boily CLA 2002-09-26 10:37:04 EDT 
i have a lot of files ... about 2000 and more .. :-)

I don't have step to reproduces .. but only by making a refresh in list 
take a lot of time  .. 

If it's not possible, it's not possible! The developer must be
patient ...

Thank you !

Do you mean you have 2000 external JARs references on project build paths ?
If so, then I can believe it will take some time to check them all to see if 
they are the same as the ones we saw last time around.

Not external jar .. but java class .. sorry for the confusing
Comment 5 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-10-02 05:23:15 EDT 
Then the answer is simple: we do not support external class library folders. 
You may have heard about ways to refer to them (through CP variables), but as 
you noticed we do not notice their changing.

Now, we are currently working on opening the workspace structure to allow such 
external folders to be treated as part of the workspace, and thus refreshed 
normally as other resources in there.

Currently, the best way to mount such folders into the workspace is to use sym-
links or junctions.
