Eclipse workspace is not refreshing

Question

I'm using Aptana Studio 3 as my text editor and Eclipse for my Android developement. I'm also using Phonegap for the creation of Android specific app dev.

I don't fully understand Eclipse workspaces. I import an existing android project into my Eclipse workspace and when I make changes to the project in Aptana - the changes are not taking effect in eclipse.

Why?

BTW, I'm using the Eclipse version that ships with the ADT Build: v22.0.1-685705.

Answer 1

While importing, "Copy files into Workspace" is checked by default. Make sure to uncheck this. Otherwise Eclipse creates a Copy of your Sources in its workspace directory. If This Option is unchecked Eclipse uses the existing files.

Answer 2

Click on the highest project, (or the files you're working on in Aptana) and hit F5. Ctrl+A in the project explorer and F5 will refresh all files
