Refresh option not available for some resources that are not closed projects #2538

Description

@DaveCarpeneto

Issue was introduced in Eclipse IDE for Java Developers, Version: 2024-03 (4.31.0), Build id: 20240307-1437 ( https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/2024-03/R/eclipse-java-2024-03-R-win32-x86_64.zip )

This situation is NOT seen in the previous quarterly release (Version: 2023-12 (4.30.0), Build id: 20231201-2043), and I don't see anything mentioned regarding this functionality @ https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.31/ .

The code change that caused this was #1438. I submitted an initial fix for this @ #2003 , however that fix did not cover all cases.

I'm using Eclipse on Windows.

Steps to reproduce

A plugin that I work on has a view that extends org.eclipse.ui.navigator.CommonNavigator . In previous versions this provided 'Refresh (F5)' in the contextual menu for any resource. However now the menu option only exists for projects, but not other resources.

Fairly easy to trigger / reproduce. Plug-in Spy tells me the following for the menu entry I'm talking about here:

  • I understand reporting an issue to this OSS project does not mandate anyone to fix it. Other contributors may consider the issue, or not, at their own convenience. The most efficient way to get it fixed is that I fix it myself and contribute it back as a good quality patch to the project.
