You're right that my Ant runners are listed in the External Tools screen as "Ant Build" object whereas my Maven stuff is under "Programs". However, the "Refresh" tab looks the same for both types of runners.
I filed a bug against Eclipse. K.C. -----Original Message----- From: Eric Redmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 8:11 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [M2] Eclipse doesn't refresh properly after running mvn as an external command? I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "bug", but it definately an annoyance :) It is true that Eclipse does not poll projects to look for changes on the filesystem unless a particular file is open at the time of change (then eclipse will pop up a little message telling you something has changed, asking if you'd like to see the changes). In the case of ant, are you running ant as an external task, or are you using the ant plugin? If the latter, I'd assume that the project refresh is just built into the plugin ala JavaCore. This is certainly something you should mention to Mevenide when they add 2.0 support.
