Yeah, the way Eclipse handles the linked folders is not exactly great, but at this time we have no choice but to use them. What happens is that Eclipse doesn't realize the file in your library project and in your main project are the same file, and it keeps 2 different caches for them. When you edit one, the other version is considered to be modified outside of Eclipse, so you need to refresh the project for Eclipse to keep it in sync. Your best bet is to set the workspace to automatically refresh when a file is modified outside of eclipse.
