I noticed that “sometimes” the resources i put into a source folder in my Eclipse project will not be copied to the output folder (“bin”) immediately.
E.g. i change a properties file using the eclipse editor and save… and “bin” still has the old version.

Does anyone know what exactly triggers the copying (and how i can trigger that from a plugin)?
I thought it happened automatically when a resource changes.

— EDIT —

To clarify what i meant by triggering it from a plugin: I have a plugin that depends on up to date resources in the output folder, but apparently the resources are outdated when my plugin is called. And that’s why i need to better understand what happens and how i can force it when i need to.

    This is a Bug in almost all Eclipse versions, it happens without any reason. My eclipse 3.5.2 and 3.6.2 both meet this problem in someday. In my case, I need to copy modified .clj clojure source files to classes directory for immediate effection in a web app, now I have to set /src before /classes in CLASSPATH of web appserver startup script, It’s solve my problem temporarily.
