Hi all,

I need to get the underlying buffer of a .txt file to attach a buffer changed listener to it (so that I can listen to the changed that are done on the file before the user actually saves the file). I have the corresponding IFile, however I cannot get the IBuffer using this IFile.
I tried using JavaCore.create(IFile), however since my file is not java-like and not in the build path, it returns null.

So, is there a way to do what I want?
Are there other alternative ways to listen to the buffer of a plain text file?

Thanks in advance, best regards,
