How to auto reload external code changes in Eclipse project ?

I have started using Sublime text as my preferred code editor. But, I still rely on Eclipse for my maven build, server, and more.

Working on multiple editors could lead to another problem: whenever I make a change in some file outside of Eclipse, the IDE does not reload in the background. The files doesn't seem to sync, and I have to switch into Eclipse and make sure the changes are detected, then I can reload my page.

Doing 500 times of these in a day is annoying, does anybody have the same workflow and figure it out the solution for this, please let me know.

I am running on

Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers. Version: Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) Build id: 20150219-0600

Sublime Text 3

Feel free to suggest me anything.

Thanks.

Go to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace and check Refresh on access. If that doesn't solve your problem check Refresh using hooks or polling also.
