How do I refresh Netbeans workspace?

NetbeansNetbeans 6.9

Netbeans Problem Overview

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??

Solution 1 - Netbeans

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.

Solution 2 - Netbeans

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

Instead.

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

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

Solution 3 - Netbeans

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

Solution 4 - Netbeans

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.

Solution 5 - Netbeans

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

Solution 6 - Netbeans

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.

Solution 7 - Netbeans

Source -> Scan For External Changes

Solution 8 - Netbeans

I made it like below ,

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

in my netbeans 6.9

Solution 9 - Netbeans

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.

Solution 10 - Netbeans

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