| Target file ignored if timestamp changes [message #551475] |

I am running 64-bit Windows 7.
I installed 32-bit Eclipse Helios version 3.6.
I have the latest 32-bit JDK.
I installed subclipse version 1.6.x
1. I have a project containing a Target Definition file (Eclipse XML File).
2. I used the subversion perspective to checkout the project.
3. If I double click on the file, it opens the Target Definition dialog and shows my targets.
4. I changed the date/time of the file (say using touch), without changing the contet (verified with a binary diff).
If I start Eclipse and double click on the file with the changed date/time, no locations are shown.
If I use touch to set the date/time back, the contents are recognized.
I can change the file in an external editor, and the changes are shown in Eclipse, but, only if I use touch to set the date/time to the expected value (I use "touch filename -r file_with_correct_stamp")
I find this annoying at best. First noticed it when there was a problem that was fixed by changing this file. The problem related to only a few developers so we did not want to checkin the code for everyone. Instead, we passed the file around.

Have you tried refreshing the project after changing the date/time
externally? Select the project, right click, select Refresh.
