I tried to add a new Constant and regenerate Java code it did not appear. I created a new command and it DID appear so I know the Preferences>General>Workspace>Refresh using native hooks or polling is correct.
A. Seems Robot builder is not rebuilding the Constants code on code Regenerate.
B. Robot builder should test these fields to assure they are populated before Code generation. Like it dose for IO port conflicts.
2. I was testing a hobby servo. I named my subsystem "Servo" = !BAD and the actuator "Servo" too. It understandably error because Eclipse did didn't know what Servo class to use edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Servo or my Prodject Servo class.
C. Robot builder should test user names (Commands, Subsystems, IO devices) to assure they don't match edu.wpi.first.wpilibj classes and other common Java classes.

1. This will be fixed in the next update
2. The assumption here is that programmers should know that certain names will already be used by parts of WPILib or the Java standard libraries. This may get added in the future, but it's fairly low priority.

Do you have parameter presets? If a command takes parameters, a button will be generated for each preset. If it doesn't, that's a bug
