Guys,
I'm building RCP application in which I handled mouse double click through
a edit part which extend AbstractGraphicalEditPart and implements
PropertyChangeListener, NodeEditPartperformRequest and changed the picture
of the edit part,in my Figure class I have also marked the rectangle dirty
via getUpdateManager().addDirtyRegion(this, getBounds()).

Now I want to ensure that my editor is informed about the change and Save
menu is enabled by the workbench. I have used PropertyChange mechanism and
added PropertyChange listed to my editor from where I set Dirty flag,
however I have found that Save menu is not enabled, after debugging I
realize that setEnabled function is not found true as there is not
activePart found dirty, can any one help here, that how should I set
dirtyFlag?

Regards,
Manpreet

Ensure that you are implementing EditorPart#isDirty.

Ensure that you are calling firePropertyChange(IEditorPart.PROP_DIRTY).

I think that's it?
