Hello.
I wrote an editor with syntax highlights which takes the colors (through a
rule based scanner) directly from the ConfigurationScope when a document
is first opened. But now I would like to update the open document when the
user changes the color.
If I understand correctly, I need to create an IPropertyChangeListener at
the editor side and register it at the preference page.
My question is how do I get access to the preference page so I can
register the listener? and where is the correct place to listen from?
I read somewhere that I can get access through the plugin class, but I
don't have such a class.
Thanks in advance,
ruthie

I don't have a "Bundle-Activator". (I probably don't have it since in the
new project wizard I unchecked the "Generate the Java class that ... "
following the acvice in McAffer and Lemieux book)
My MANIFEST.MF is:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Coverageng Plug-in
Bundle-SymbolicName: lt.vt.coverageng; singleton:=true
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Localization: plugin
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.core.runtime,
org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor,
org.eclipse.jface.text
Eclipse-AutoStart: true
thanks,
ruthie

Even if you do not explicitly define a bundle-activator, there will
be one created for your plugin. Personally I prefer to define one
explicitly for simpler debugging purposes.
There is no problem to add a bundle activator after plug-in creation,
just use the plug-in editor, page "Overview" and click on the link
"Activator" in the "General Information" section.
