Listening to Tab Activations in Java Editor [message #152192]

My code needs to get notifications when user selects new Java File to edit
(including switches between tabs). I did the following:

private void addEditorListener() {
IWorkbench workbench = PlatformUI.getWorkbench();
IWorkbenchWindow window = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow();
IWorkbenchPage page = window.getActivePage();
final IEditorPart editor = page.getActiveEditor();
editor.addPropertyListener( new IPropertyListener() {
public void propertyChanged(Object source, int propId) {
if ( IEditorPart.PROP_INPUT == propId ) {
System.out.println( "ACTIVE FILE CHANGED." );
}
}

} );
}

But that does not work. Any help is appreciated!

Well, this code only checks whether the input of the active editor
changed. If you open a new one or switch between different editors then
this stays the same. Take a look at IPartListener2.
