I have persistent properties on a particular file resource, but they don't
get set to the default values without explicitly going into the properties
dialog and setting them. The file may occasionally be deleted and recreated
or copied from another location. Should I set the properties when I create
the file, or listen for resource change events when the file is downloaded
from source control? Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Karen

Your best bet is to do it lazily. That way you don't need to have
listeners running all of the time just for an infrequent occurence.

By lazily I mean when you go to retrieve a particular property, if it
returns null (I assume you are using IResource.getPersistentProperty)),
just return what you want to be the true default value. That way unless
it is actually set to something, no time or space is wasted on it.
