Change a .classpath linked to an IDEA project and want to cheat out of reloading the whole project? Try this:
In IntelliJ IDEA, when you update a .classpath file externally IDEA pops up a dialog that complains and tells you that you need to reload the project. I think they've fixed this in 8.x for .iml files, but not for linked Eclipse .classpath files.
When I'm running 2 apps under the debugger I don't want to lose all that and start over just because I screwed up a dependency.
It's simple:
- Delete the module.
- Make your modifications.
- Re-add the module.
You're done! Significantly faster than stopping all running apps, reloading the whole project, and starting all over again.
