How to programatically refresh a folder from a plugin? [message #152790]

I wrote a plugin and it tries to do a refresh on a directory to which I
have added files using Window's explorer (simplified):

IWorkspaceRoot workspaceRoot = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().getRoot();
IProject project = workspaceRoot.getProject("MyProject");
project.open(null);
IFolder folder = project.getFolder("source/foo/bar");
folder.refreshLocal(99, null);
System.out.println("Successfully refreshed.");

This says it runs fine, but

1) The GUI is not refreshed

2) The actions performed by a GUI menu refresh operation are clearly not
performed since it involves a bunch of compiles, which are not happening
in the programatic case.

How do I simulate the GUI menu refresh operation?

Thanks,

Look at the javadoc for refreshLocal. You're passing an illegal value
for the "depth" parameter.

John,

Thanks for the response.

I changed it to IFolder.DEPTH_INFINITE, but I still get the same result.
It completes much too quickly and the GUI folder does not appear refreshed.
Any suggestions, references?

It sounds like you're now doing the right thing. This is exactly what
the UI refresh action does (org.eclipse.ui.actions.RefreshAction).
