Dynamically changing icons in Editor Tabs? [message #460185]

Howdy,

Is there an easy way to dynamically change the icon in an Editor's tab??

In the Eclipse IDE, the filename changes to "* filename" when the text
editor is 'dirty'. I need a similar behavior, but with respect to the icon
in an Editor Tab.

I would like to be able to change the document icon in an Editor tab to a
red X or something similar when there is an error of some kind inside an
Editor. Is there an easy way to do this?

I was hoping there was a way to use a Decorator or something similar, but it
is not obvious how one could do this.

Any suggestions welcomed.

thanks,

-dave

If I understand correctly, it's as easy as WorkbenchPart.setTitleImage().
