How to update GEF editor if file renamed?

This works fine for text editors. For example in Eclipse go to Navigator, open file HelloWorld.java in editor, rename HelloWorld.java to HelloWorld2.java in Navigator. Note that editor is now updated and it titled "HelloWorld2.java".

To do that Eclipse creates listener and adds it to ITextEditor: IElementStateListener fElementStateListener= new ElementStateListener() (handles elementMoved and calles setInput((IEditorInput) movedElement)) ITextEditor.getDocumentProvider().addElementStateListener(fE lementStateListener);

I guess I need to do the same thing for in org.eclipse.gef.ui.parts.GraphicalEditor but I don't know how cause graphicalEditor, doesn't have documentProvider

Have a look at logic example. In the LogicEditor class, there is inner
class ResourceTracker which is the key.

Download and try it. It does exactly what you need. You can check the
sources for the mentioned classes.
