Hi guys,
I have a requirement that i need to convert the text in the Xtext editor to a model ,So i need to get the notification of which object has been changed in the text editor after saving so that i can change only that object in my model instead of replacing/creating entire model .So can you please help me in this regard .Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm afraid there is no fine grained notification mechanism in the
framework. The best you can get is the IResourceDescription.Change.Event.

You may want to register an EMF adapter on the editor resource (see
XtextDocumentProvider) and a listener on the editor (see
IXtextEditorCallback). Both together may allow to achieve what you want.
Usually it's done with other means like EMF compare, though.

Regards,
Sebastian
