Hello,
I'm trying to start doing some useful Black Berry development. I've decided to create a project folder with core things that I find useful like String splitting utils, property file managers, etc. I also have project folders for specific apps that I'm working.

I've tried to use the link source feature of Eclipse. I linked the core project into the various applications. This is very useful and helps get around some of the deployment limitations of the platform. However, the link doesn't update when I make a change in a core file. The only way I've found to get the updates is to delete the files linked in and refresh the project's source.

Is there a way to update the link source without deleting it out first?

Thanks for the help,
JPD

I don't know, but try click on the project and press F5.

Unfortunately, simply hitting refresh does not work. Currently I just delete the linked source files. Then I hit refresh. This causes any changes I make to load into the project. I don't like this as it will become exceedingly hard to do this once I get more pieces into the core project as well as in other project that I work on.

Does anyone else have an idea?
