I cannot refresh a text file in an external class folder when its contents changes. Here's how to reproduce: 1. create a java project 2. in a directory outside the workspace, create a text file with some content 3. add this diectory as an external class folder to the classpath of the java project 4. open the text file in a text editor 5. outside of the workspace, make a change to the text file. 6. close and reopen the text editor in the workspace 7. "Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/.org.eclipse.jdt.core.external.folders/.link2/foo.txt'" 8. Right click on Project -> Refresh I would expect that Step 8 would actually refresh the text file that was changed, but it does not. The only way that I can find to refresh the text file in the class folder is by removing the classpath entry and then re-adding it. Is there something much simpler that I am missing?
Jay, please follow up - re-route as needed, Thanks.
This isn't reproducible in 3.7. I believe this has been fixed as part of the fix to bug 305172. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 305172 ***

Verified that this works from both package explorer and project explorer. Verified for 3.7 RC3 using build I20110521-0800.
Thanks. Good news. I hadn't tried it on 3.7.
