We're using Eclipse 3.0 on my current project and while it has some nice features, I seem to be running into workspace problems every couple of days. For example, Eclipse will be working fine and then start complaining about files that can't be found. At this time, I usually refresh the source tree(s), clean the workspace, build and sometimes even close Eclipse. After a few cycles of this, Eclipse will finally sort itself out. I do quite like the incremental build feature, but it does throw up some weird errors from time to time.

The other thing that's recently happened is that (my copy of) Eclipse doesn't seem to know about some of our classes anymore. Ctrl-Shift-T lets you find a type quickly and I use this all the time to find classes within the project. As an aside, you can do this in IntelliJ with Apple-N (on Mac). Anyway, the list of our classes Eclipse knows about is getting shorter and shorter by the day! Something is certainly wrong with my workspace. Does anybody else have similar problems, or does Eclipse just know that I'm an IntelliJ user?
