There's a very good reason for it. Your developers may not want the latest code - they may be working on entirely different branches of the code, or they may be writing test code locally that don't want to be overwritten.
Basically, the designers of these source control systems wrote them for the LCD. Each individual user has control over which version of the code that they have on their machine. There are a myriad of reason why this would be so. For your needs, this may not make sense, but for projects that have dozens of developers, automatically downloading the latest code to their machines every time they start up their editor is a disastrously bad idea. Let's say Developer A checks in code that has bugs in it. Happens every day. Now, Developer B who's happily working away on a stable copy of the code comes into work the next day, fires up Eclipse, does some work and starts testing the application and things start breaking all over the place. He has no idea that Developer A checked in code, what that code does, or why it's now breaking his code. It'd be a nightmare.
