Zend Studio for Eclipse “resource is out of sync with the file system”

Thank you Zend for producing an IDE with a lot of potential… but for the love of God please fix these stupid errors.

To resolve the “resource is out of sync with the file system” error – and you will know this one, it appears when trying to open a file that was edited elsewhere, resulting in an error screen that says the code editor could not be loaded – simply close the error screen and right click on the file, then hit refresh. Now you can reopen the file. That’s it. Magically you are now able to edit the file properly.

Too bad this took me so long to figure out.

   I have much more difficulties. Most of files doen’t get refreshed using File/Refresh. But if I open that file using Javascript Editor (no matter whether file contains javascript), file gets refreshed.

   by the way, ‘If you edit outside of
   Eclipse a lot, you can enable auto-refresh by going to
   Window->Preferences menu, then in the Preferences dialog box, select
   General->Workspace. Check the “Refresh automatically” box.’ (http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t147718-how-to-fix-eclipse-quotresource-is-out-of-sync-with-the-file-systemquot.html)

   Thanks guys for sharing this with us. I was quite frustrated, as I was running into this problem all the time. Refreshing solved it, and auto refresh was a great solution. Thanks again!
