How do I refresh Netbeans workspace?

问题:

In Eclipse, there is something called refresh workspace or F5 that refreshes the files, to make sure to pick-up any files that are changed outside eclipse.

How do i do that in Netbeans ? I am using 6.9.1 for PHP/Java development?

I don't see any refresh nor F5 works?

any hints? any plugins??

回答1:

Within NetBeans:

select "Source" > "Scan for External Changes" 

this will force the IDE to look for changes and "Refresh" the file structure.

I develop PHP within NetBeans and am frequently creating new files outside of the IDE. This does the trick every time and works quickly.

I think below is best Answer for that. While Scan for External Changes takes a while.

Instead.

Tools->Options->Files and uncheck Enable-auto-scanning of source. Then it will give an option like Refresh Folder.

This is cool against scanning whole project to see changes of one folder.

Never Mind, found ScanOnDemand plugin and also there is source-->Scan for External Changes menu.

回答4:

For Netbeans-IDE 7.2 and above

Go To Tools->Options->Miscellaneous->Files and uncheck Enable-auto-scanning of source. Then it will give an option like Refresh Folder.

You can refresh the folder or whole workspace.

回答5:

Select "Scan for external changes" from the "Source" menu.

I use netbeans deploying php projects.

Source->Scan for External Changes

The files in the projects will be refreshed or synchronized with the windows file system.

I made it like below ,

Right click on the folder (e.g webpages) --> Refresh

in my netbeans 6.9

回答8:

Source -> Scan For External Changes

Also, if you're using subversion, if you use an external subversion client you can run "update" in the subversion menu to update the diff highlighting.

The only think that worked for me, is "Synchronization" when right-clicking on the project.
