[news.eclipse.newcomer] Confused with Refresh, Project->Clean, Run ...

Hi,

I am still not clear about several concepts. (I am using Eclipse on Linux.)

(1)Say, I have a Eclipse workspace, Test_Workspace. If I have moved a java file, Test.java to /home/Test_Workspace/src/. I need to use Refresh. Correct?

(2)If I have modified Test.java file, I need to use Run->Run As->Java Application. Correct?

Usually, there is a compiling step (javac Test.java) and running step (java Test). I am not clear the above procedure is doing both(javac Test.java and java Test) or is just doing java Test

(3)There is a green arrow button just below menu bar. What does it mean by clicking it? If I have modified Test.java, I can NOT just click the green arrow button, because it does not recompile Test.java and will not show the effect of modification, correct?

(4)When I need to use Project->Clean ?

Thank you very much.
