Check this questions: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6049245/207764 Refreshing from commandline, do you mean when you are starting up Eclipse? Or if you have an eclipse open already? – Fredrik Apr 15 '12 at 13:48

@Fredrik: I mean when I have an eclipse open already, but I'm interested in both. – Philippe Blayo Apr 17 '12 at 11:37

@Fredrik: Question stackoverflow.com/a/6049245/207764 is not from command line. – Philippe Blayo Apr 17 '12 at 11:39

I know there are ant tasks to do this:
<eclipse.convertPath fileSystemPath="/workspace/org.example.project"
property="resourcePath"/>
<eclipse.refreshLocal resource="${resourcePath}" depth="infinite"/>
As for running this from the command line, as a worst case, you can stick this in an ant script invoke the eclipse antrunner application:
eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -f refresh.xml
