How to get notified when Eclipse renames or deletes a file in the workspace? [message #331032]

Hi,

I am writing a plug-in for the Bazaar version control system. When
Eclipse renames a file I would like to know about it so I can tell
Bazaar that the file has been renamed. I've heard about the Team
framework but I don't want the user to have to tell Eclipse that
something is under version control for this to work. I would rather
Eclipse be intelligent about it. My plug-in knows what is under Bazaar
version control without the user having to tell it. So what I would like
is a callback that is called (and possibly allows me to veto it) when
Eclipse renames or deletes a file anywhere in the workspace.

My plug-in would then check if this file was under Bazaar version
control and do the right thing. Is this possible?

Many thanks,

Nicholas Allen.

Nearly everything is possible with Eclipse :)

The other alternative is to use the LTK refactoring participants
(RenameParticipant, DeleteParticipant)

There are articles on http://www.eclipse.org/articles/

Oh, I should note that the LTK refactoring is applied to many files, but
not necessarily all files (which you might need to track for your
version control system).
