Description Missing name CLA 2009-06-09 18:30:21 EDT 
team synchronize gives "resource ouf of sync with file system" error. it would be nice if eclipse would solve that problem by its own if it already knows what it is instead of surprising a puzzled user. in this case: synchronize.
Comment 1 Szymon Brandys CLA 2009-06-10 03:51:23 EDT 
"resource ouf of sync with file system" in this context means that resources in your workspace are not in sync with underlying files. We can't do the synchronization automatically since it could trigger builders or start any other facilities being aware of resources' changes.
Comment 2 Tomasz Zarna CLA 2009-06-10 04:03:17 EDT 
There is an auto-refresh preference[1] which will keep your workspace in-sync with the file system. If this option is turned on then the workspace resources will be synchronized with their corresponding resources in the file system automatically. However, as Szymon mentioned in comment 1, this can potentially be a lengthy operation depending on the number of resources you have in your workspace. 

Another approach could be to allow to refresh directly from the error dialog[2]. This is probably the most convenient solution at the moment.
