It's always been the case that the eclipse plugin doesn't see changes
in Java classes until Eclipse is restarted.

I've patched the plugin to check on each CAL compile:
http://github.com/tgdavies/CAL-Eclipse-Plug-in/commit/3a178e977854b2d16fdc3ca2fdfd97450681ca6c

It doesn't understand that a CAL module may depend on a class, so a
change to the class doesn't force a recompile, but it works better
than it did before.

There may have been a better way to do this -- comments welcome.

Hi Tom,

I think you might be able to "Refresh" the relevant part of the source
tree to have such changes detected... at least I don't remember having
to restart Eclipse on previous occasions of writing foreign support
Java classes etc.

However, it goes without saying that its even nicer to have these
changes detected automagically :-)

I'm sure Rich Webster, the current keeper of the golden key to the
Quark projects will be able to merge your various changes in soon.
Thanks again.
