Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-05-04 11:07:27 EDT 
To synchronize with external changes on the file system (e.g. after external Ant
or Maven build) it is necessary to run refresh and then clean project. It will
be convenient to have a check box on the new "Project/Clean..." dialog that will
force refresh on all or selected projects after clean but before rebuild.
Comment 1 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-07-23 11:58:47 EDT 
Any chance to get this feature implemented in 3.1 release?

You can specify within your Ant builder whether a refresh is desired at the end
(and what scope should be refreshed). Look under your project Properties >
Builders, select your Ant builder, click Edit, Go to the "Refresh" tab, and
specify what should be refreshed.
Comment 4 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-08-10 12:06:03 EDT 
Please note that the original request is to call the same action as used for
Project -> Clean. I know wery well about "refreh" and it does NOT help at all in
this particular case.
Comment 5 John Arthorne CLA 2004-08-10 12:59:30 EDT 
I don't understand why the external Ant builder refresh option does not work for
you. Could you elaborate?
Comment 6 Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2004-08-10 14:32:28 EDT 
Ok. There are two projects A, B and C. Project A is used across all others (over
50) to share common libraries. Basically, when project B built it is changing
some jar which is under project A, but not in its classpath (it just doesn't
make sence to put it in A's classpath, because it is very dynamic and project
file for A is under CVS control). Project C has dependency on A/lib/b.jar. When
build for B is executed and it refreshes both projects A and C, C is not being
rebuilt. Currently I have manually select C and run Project -> Clean.

Please see related issue for Java builder/refresh.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=99497

I think that 99497 must be fixed, but Kent Johnson has his own opinion on this.

There is currently no plan to work on this
Comment 9 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:08:32 EDT 
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
