+5  Q: 

avoiding eclipse "changed on file system" dialog?

Is there a preference or tweak that will stop Eclipse from putting up a dialog "This file has been changed on the file system." when I switch to Eclipse from another editor?

Steps:

  • open eclipse project
  • edit some file and save it (page is now 'clean' but has been touched previously)
  • switch to other editor
  • edit same file
  • switch back to eclipse
  • see dialog
+4  A: 

Maybe telling Eclipse to refresh the workspace automatically helps:

Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Refresh automatically

Nope, the dialog still shows.
