I have a form editor, and in the doSave method, i do the work necessary to
save my model, and then call the editorDirtyStateChanged method.
However, the * never disappears from the editor title tab, and when I
attempt to close the editor, it asks if I want to save the changes. Am I
missing a step to clearing the dirty state?

I figured it out. I realized that I wasn't calling doSave on each of the
FormPages in my editor.
Once I did that, the dirtystate was updated properly.
However, I did notice one problem.
I used the protected variable pages (which is a Vector that holds the pages
added to the editor) to loop through and call doSave on each page. The
vector reports that there are 5 elements, however, there are only 4. Thus,
I would get a null pointer exception on the last element. I assume this is
a base java bug, but not sure.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by calling:
firePropertyChange(PROP_DIRTY);
this normally results in a call to your editors 'isDirty()' method. If it
returns false, the * goes away.
