How do I refresh Netbeans workspace?

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??

I think below is the best Answer to that. While Scan for External Changes takes a while.

Instead.

Tools->Options->Miscellaneous->Files and uncheck Enable-auto-scanning of source. Then it will give an option like Refresh Folder.

This is cool against scanning the whole project to see changes in one folder.

The only think that worked for me, is "Synchronization" when right-clicking on the project.

For Netbeans-IDE 7.2 and above

Go To Tools->Options->Miscellaneous->Files and uncheck Enable-auto-scanning of source. Then it will give an option like Refresh Folder.

You can refresh the folder or whole workspace.

I use netbeans deploying php projects.

Source->Scan for External Changes

The files in the projects will be refreshed or synchronized with the windows file system.

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.

Also, if you're using subversion, if you use an external subversion client you can run "update" in the subversion menu to update the diff highlighting.
