IFile and FileEditorInput problem [message #460087]

Hello,

I extend FileEditorInput to create my own editor using an instance of IFile.
The user wants to rename this file and actually he can do that : the move
method
handles that kind of change. I mean that the project which owns that file
knows
that its name has changed :
project.refreshLocal(depth, null);

The problem is that I don't know how to tell the editorInput that its file
has
changed ?

Do I have to implement a ResourceChangeListener ? How ?

thanks,
frank

The editor extends the EditorPart and the unput is a FileEditorInput.

I've found a way to solve my problem, I dont really know if it is the best
one...

I have overloaded the protected method "setInput" in the EditorPart class,
changing its visibility to public. By this way, I can create a knew input
editor
and assign it to the part...

Hi Frank,

normally either the editor or some other component (for the text editors
it is an IElementStateListener which is connected to a document
provider) listens to changes and then updates the editor input (by
calling setInput). Since this is done inside the editor it is normally
not need to make that method public and call it from outside.
