Hi,

Is it possible to get a list of all the resources in a workspace visible in "Package Explorer" ?

What do you mean with "visible"? Those that are actually shown in the
view or those that the Package Explorer can show, e.g. by scrolling or
expanding? What about filters? Why would you only want those from the
Package Explorer and not directly from the model?

Hi,

Thanks for reply. I have need to make an efficient update of those elements that have directories or files that have been removed.

What I do is I set a new config spec ( clearcase) in my view and then some folders/files are not visible. I must show the change in Package Explorer. Since changing config spec - operation ( not a eclipse one) does not generate a resource state change event I need to find a way to update as few resources as possible.
If I do:

resource.getProject().refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_INFINITE, null);

It will take quite a while.

Is it possible to save an instance of the model ( which model do you mean) and then update the model again and find out the changes?

br,

//mike

I meant the workspace (see IWorkspaceRoot). Refreshing the Package
Explorer is not enough since there's also the Project Explorer,
Navigator etc. Assuming you know what to refresh in the Package Explorer
you already have a way to find out the delta. Hence you only need to
refresh exactly those resources.

How can I find out what resources I have in the project before the operation and after? Or is it possible to get a diff after operation?
I really don't know what API to look into?

This is a completely different question than originally asked ;-)

If the change happens outside Eclipse then only a full refresh can
detect the delta and update your workspace. Another option is to enable
the auto-refresh option and wait until the workspace updates itself.
