Hi, all:
In our rcp application, one editor means one connection, we want to prompt user when he clicks the editor close button, so we overwrite Editor's isDirty method to return true, and overwrite promptToSaveOnClose method.
However this would add a * to the tab, out stakeholder doesn't like this.
Is there a way to remove * in tab but still prompt when user clicks on close button.

Many thanks for any help and advice? : )

Eclipse Presentations control how the tabs look. So I believe you would have to extend the presentationFactory point with your own presentation and then create a stack where the * behavior is overwritten. Specifically the createEditorPresentation method will need to have your custom stack in it.

Google away for more help with this.
