In Eclipse, there is something called refresh workspace or F5 that refreshes the files, to make sure to pick-up any files that are changed outside eclipse.

How do i do that in Netbeans ? I am using 6.9.1 for PHP/Java development?

I don't see any refresh nor F5 works?

any hints? any plugins??

Within NetBeans:

select "Source" > "Scan for External Changes"

this will force the IDE to look for changes and "Refresh" the file structure.

I develop PHP within NetBeans and am frequently creating new files outside of the IDE. This does the trick every time and works quickly.
