Refresh option doesn't work, classes not visible

[Bartek-Trz]

Type: Bug

Sometimes files (especially generated, but also moved to other package via Refactor) are not visible in JAVA PROJECTS view. I can see it in the Folder view so they exist.

Hi @Bartek-Trz, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

No known fix is available at this time – the behavior is a bug in the Java Project Manager explorer. As a workaround, you can:

• Click the Refresh button (… → Refresh) in the Java Projects view after generating or moving files.
• Reload the Java language server: run > Java: Clean the Java Language Server Workspace and then > Developer: Reload Window.

References with similar reports:

• The Refresh button doesn’t work – users report clicking Refresh in the Java Dependency/Projects view doesn’t update the tree (no fix published)
  The Refresh button doesn't work #191

• Cannot auto refresh after edit package – package creations/renames aren’t reflected until a manual refresh is invoked
  Cannot auto refresh after edit package #305

Other references with low confidence

• Java project tree/view not updated with new files/packages when created from create class option… [NFS/SMB only] – similar symptom, but scoped to network-mounted workspaces
  Java project tree/view not updated with new files/packages when created from create class option of extension (Only for network location mounts [NFS/SMB] ) #787

The team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
