Have recently upgraded from Europa to Ganymede, now after every change in
file/build workspace, a task starts "Refreshing external folders". This
can take between 1 and 10 seconds. What is this task doing? What is
causing it? How can I prevent it?

In the details pane, it has "refreshing
/.org.eclipse.jdt.external.folders/.linkN" where N seems to be 2/5/7.

Thanks,
Jakub

I don't know what is causing it, but You can check what resource it is refreshing:

<workspaceDir> \.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core\.org.eclipse.jdt.co re.external.folders\.project

You will see resources that are referenced by name in eclipse.

Anyway I would also love to know how to turn this off -
I mean not refresh external folders!

I have a problem with Android tools, which I described http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thr ead/thread/d7748b40037c1a2/b63f1377b4dec86f?lnk=gst&q=re freshing#b63f1377b4dec86f

and my external folder isn't changing, so why refresh it? Smile

Which eclipse version are you using? You may want to file a bug giving a reproducible test case.

Is there a problem with your hard drive, is it external, or perhaps a network drive that is having a more fundamental hardware issue?
