It is only possible to refresh the tree contents automatically, if you fill it using JFace Data Binding, that would not work with remote build results.

I recommend either using a model with notification support: when the model changes, its listeners are notified. Then your view could listen for these notifications and refresh itself.

If for some reason this is not possible, you have to poll your models manually. For that I recommend creating a Job that is executed in the background automatically (its last step is to reschedule itself some times later), that checks whether the model changed and refreshes the view.
