Hello,

File A is editted in Eclipse (in a workspace).
In my plugin I download a new version a file A (overwriting the old file A), I then want to refresh the editor.
I know how to find the editor that is editting the old version of file A ... but how do I refresh this editor? so that I see the new version of file A in my editor when this download function of my plugin is ended.

Normally editors refresh themselves when the workspace is refreshed and
thereby notifies the editor of the change in that file. Are you doing
this update via the workspace APIs; if not, you need to do a workspace
refresh.

Right-click on the file (or the project) and choose Refresh.

Or press F5.
