Concurrently modifying position in an IDocument [message #494016]

Hi,

I have a custom TextEditor and I need to modify the positions of the
underlying org.eclipse.jface.text.IDocument concurrently. I use:

....
document.addPositionCategory(category);
org.eclipse.jface.text.Position position = new
org.eclipse.jface.text.Position(offset, length);
document.addPosition(category, position);

This works fine most of the time, but sometimes, when the document is
accessed by other thread I get ConcurrentModificationExceptions. This is
for example the case when the
org.eclipse.jface.text.source.AnnotationRulerColumn redraws itself.

My question is: How can I make sure, that the position are only added at
correct points in time? Can I lock the IDocument somehow? Do I have to
do the changes in a particular thread, so SWT makes sure there is no
other accesses to the list of positions?

I'm working on Galileo.

Thanks in advance.

Mirko

You may get more response if you ask this on the eclipse.platform.jface
newsgroup.
