Hi,
I am facing a problem with multipage editor.
I have a multipage editor with a diagram-view of my application and a
corresponding xml source view. I have a resource opened in my editor that
can be changed by another plugin(assume changed by an entity other than
the editor itself).
Now I am faced with a problem of reloading the contents when such an
external change occurs. I track such an event by registering a
resourceChangeListener and setting some flags in the editor. Now when the
user switches back to the editor, in the setFocus method I check for the
flag indicating external change and ask the user as to whether he wants to
update the contents. Choosing no is easy and I save the existing state
overwriting the previous change but when he chooses yes, I need to reload
my editor contents (when in diagram-view; reload the diagram model and
when in source-view; reload the xml source). I have tried setInput but it
does not work.
Can someone kindly shed some light on this.
Regards,
Prashanto

Hi,
graphicalViewer.setContents(myModelRoot) is your friend.
