automatically reload files without asking me [message #332074]

Hi All,

I am using Eclipse (Ganymede) with an external product that both operate
on the same file i.e. I frequently swap between the two to work on the
same file.

This means Eclipse is continually giving me these dialogs: "The file has
been changed on the file system. Do you want to replace the editor
contents with these changes?"

How can I make this an automatic "yes"? I.e. automatically reload files
without asking me?

Thanks!

Rob
:)

You can enable auto-refresh preference: Window > Preferences | General >

fast this refresh happens i.e. if you change the file outside and
quickly switch to the eclipse editor then you might still get the dialog.
