Description fommil 2008-04-17 13:50:25 UTC 
I'm using NetBeans 6.1 RC1 and I am still seeing a lot of bugs in the Error Badge refresh code... for example, perfectly fine (and compiling) java classes being 
marked with errors when nothing is wrong. The only workarounds at the moment are

- quit NetBeans and delete the var/cache directory and restart. Pray.
- open each file individually, add a space (then delete it again) and save the file. Unworkable for large number of files.

Given that no reasonable workaround exists, and both myself and my colleagues are getting un-reproductive bugs, I would like to request that a "refresh" 
button be added to individual projects/files. The refresh button would simply re-scan all the files in the branch and decide again if the Error Badges should 
be shown.

Has there been any further progress on this? It is getting incredibly frustrating that most of my codebase is in a constant state of red error badges, even 
though there are no problems... a "refresh" button would be very very handy!

Honzo, could you please have a look? Thanks.
