Editor window persistence problem [message #334069]

I have a multipage editor based on eclipse platform.
A bug i noticed in my editor is that when i delete a file from the
navigator window, if the file is the active editor in the editor window,
the editor continues to stay open(as though the file hasnt been deleted
i.e, it does not close), even though the file has been removed from the
navigator view.

Eclipse itself works perfectly when i tried this, so im not sure what i ve
missed.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Sheela

Something based on AbstractTextEditor is using the IDocument,
IDocumentProvider, and
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.ElementStateLis tener to
close itself when the element is deleted.

If you are processing a FileEditorInput you would have to add your own
IResourceChangeListener (or appropriate workspace listener) so if the
resource is deleted you can close your editor.
