This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Steps to reproduce: 1. mount a filesystem with java sources 2. make some changes in these files externally 3. invoke Refresh folder action on their folders 4. java sources will not be re-parsed The time interval auto-refresh of filesystem works right.
You have to bring the focus to editor component.
I cannot agree. If I made update of many java sources by some external tool I have only one choice to update explorer or Java Code Completion content - to remount whole filesystem. Maybe it will solve a new refactoring infrastructure, bug 40755.
In order to update code completion you do not have to remount any filesystem. You can update it with Tools/Update Code Completions on whatever folder or filesystem or via Menu/Tools/Code Completion Database Manager. Anyway it is out of scope of the java module. Current architecture is document oriented. You will get the same result with ant script, xml document, etc. External changes are propagated just in case you bring the focus into the editor. I also guess that the implementation of refresh folder does not notify about file modifications but about new and removed files/folders.
