I want my plugin to be notified when a project is being deleted so that I
can remove all the metadata. Considering that all resource changes are
caught by my IncrementalProjectBuilder I was guessing that I can trap
project deletions there, but that does not seem to be the case. Am I doing
something wrong or should I use a ResourceChangeListener for this?

There is a way of storing the metadata on a per project basis. In that
case the metadata will be deleted at the same time as the project for
you automatically.

To put something in the project metadata area use:

IPath data = iproject.getWorkingLocation("yourpluginid/whatever-you-want ");

This will return an absolute file path that is per project.

Hi Rich,

Ah... that looks like something I need to investigate. So far I've been
using the plugin's working location. However I also need to remove data
from memory at the same time. Maybe I should just implement the
ResourceChangeListener. It's pretty straightforward so there is not a big
deal if I need to change it.

Thanks :-)

You should probably put your project in the project metadata area and
use the resource listener for in-memory. This is because it is possible
to have the project deleted before anything caused your plugin to be
activated. In that case you would not have a listener. So the data would
still automatically go away then.

Also, this article may be useful to you. It is about resource change
listening:

Thanks :-) I've implemented the ResourceChangeListener and it all works
well. Now I just need to move the metadata.
