Refreshing external folders/resources [message #257725]

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

This is driving me completely bonkers.... Refreshing External Folders every 10 minutes... sometimes more often... ANY idea what to do in this case? Google isn't helping Sad

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?
