By "other application" you mean something running in another process?

A workspace listener that watches for resource deltas is likely what you
want. A generated EMF editor generates one; it listens for resources
that are being edited being changed externally.

Hi Ed,

I understand that ResourceChangerListener can do the job, but what if I want to expose some API from my plugin e.g.

- void GenerateTemplate ();
this method traverses the tree and extract some information then output it inside a file.

- I want other plugin to be able to call my method from inside their code.

Is that possible ?

Thanks
