Refresh

Sometimes after you pull from git you will find that your project needs to be refreshed. The following steps are a bit heavy handed, but often will get your project back up and working again.

Select your project in the package explorer:

1. "F5" to refresh
2. "Alt-F5" to refresh Maven
3. "Project" -> "Clean..." from the menu bar.

Note in order to invoke the function keys on some laptops you need to press the Function modifier key.
