Accepted Answer

This is a known issue with Eclipse, and unfortunately, there is no clear solution. Things that may fix this:

- Restart Eclipse

- Select all entries and hit "Reload"

- Restart Eclipse with the -clean command line option (no worries, does not erase workspace)

- Select an entry and open it (hit "Add..."). The old selection will be lost, so you have to reselect it. Upon closing, the target platform will be reloaded, and with a little luck everything, not just the update site that you just edited.

- The nuclear option: Delete the .metadata folder in your workspace - you'll have to setup your workspace again.
