Checking if external jar modified [message #244238]

My application caches information about IJavaElement objects

By checking the modification stamp on the Resource I can tell if my cached
information is still up-to-date.

This works fine for source elements, and binary elements which are in the
Java project (.jar and .class) - however, the resource is null for
external jar files.

Is there any way to find out if an external jar file has been modified
since I last looked at it?
