refresh_close_project

Is it only mine problem, that the option "Refresh" is next to the "Close project" (context menu, Java EE perspective, see attachment). I often use third part program to modify some files and then I need to refresh my project to force Eclipse to see changes in file system. I missclick the button very often and have to wait hours for opening, building project and validating from scratch.
Could you consider one of the options below:
- split this two options by another one (less time consuming!)
- at least add a separator between them
- add a dialog: 'Sure to close this project? Didn't you want to refresh it?' - Sure/Cancel

We could move it before "Properties" at the end. I think this would be a better place. Mickael, you are also interested in UI improvements. What do you think?

+1, just voted for this. Keep getting hit by this recently, quite annoying.

Probably working too hard, but whilst getting more sleep would be extremely welcome it doesn't workaround the problem for anyone else ;)

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
