Allow "Refresh from Server" during deployment in eclipse

So often when you are trying to deploy a large amount of changes, one small field has not been refreshed from the Sandbox into Eclipse - or more typically has not been added to the proper package so your unit tests run, but the deployment validation fails.

Rather than having to close out of the entire deployment flow, select "Refresh from Server" and then redeploy, it would be MUCH more efficient to have that option during the deployment since just getting all of the items selected to deploy (oftentimes 50 out of 200 items are all you want to deploy) and even generating the payload takes a lot of time.

The deployment process is very time consuming currently.

JonP Jul 30	At the beginning of the Deploy to Server wizard, the IDE already checks your local files against your Salesforce organization to detect changes.

sara_chieco Aug 9	My point is that I don't want to have to go back to the very beginning to refresh my eclipse copy when I realize a new custom field was not added to my package and it needs to be refreshed. This is not an existing feature! Going back to the beginning is exactly what should be avoided - needing to reselect every single entity to deploy is incredibly time consuming.
sara_chieco Nov 24	This is now a feature since you don't need to package custom fields on standard objects anymore, but was NOT when you wrote this comment. If you added a custom field to a standard object, added it to the package it needed to be put in and forgot to do a refresh, there was no way of doing so within the deployment process (or more precisely, you could do a refresh, but the field would never be recognized without exiting and refreshing). The only reason it's no longer an issue with the new IDE plug-in is because the package is no longer needed for the standard objects.
