Sorry for the repost, I have been reading through the API and documentation
but I`m still no smarter about this. Please give me feedback if the question
is to vague.

I want to monitor fine-grained changes to the code in my plug-in. My
impression is that the best way to go is to use a ElementChangesListener and
then compare two instances of the source using the AST framework. In this
case how should and can I get hold of the elements to compare ? I guess I
can get hold of the working copy from the delta but what bout the
history(previous) or original element ?

Thanks,
Otto

Sorry, we don't cache the previous element and its source.

Thank you for your answer Jerome. I guess I have to find another solution,
maybe my own cache.
Hints to good alternative solutions from you or others would be appreciated.
