How to refresh external Jars in eclipse project (Java)?

Question

Hi all,

I have a java project in Eclipse which includes a couple of external jar files. These external jar files are being rebuilt through a different process (not eclipse, ant). Those changes are not being reflected on the eclipse project even if I refresh the project. If I close the project and reopen, it works.

Any suggestions on how I could expedite the project without having to close and reopen?

Thanks, Praveen.

Answer 1

Try right click on the project and select refresh. If that does not work, go to the Project menu, clean, and check your project.

Answer 2

In the package explorer view, you can select the jar and do right click and refresh.
