Hi All,
What would bet the recommended way to watch for changes in a file and
print the new lines to the console view?
Im writing a Plugin for an external program, which writes its progress
and status information to files. The external program can run for quite a
while.
Every time one of the status files is updated I want the new line(s) to be
displayed either in the console or in a self-written console-like view.
Currently Im checking the status file using a separated thread reading
the file and updating the model of the self-written console-style view.
Unfortunately this seems not to be possible, because SWT throws a
SWT.ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS exception in the
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget checkWidget () method because my file
listening thread is causing a redraw in order to tell the widget to
display the updated model:
8<=============================================
if (display.thread != Thread.currentThread ()) error
(SWT.ERROR_THREAD_INVALID_ACCESS);
==============================================>8
So this approach does not look promising.
Do I miss something here or is there a better way to display the status
file information?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,
Wolf

Yes you need to run your code which updates any SWT-Widget in
Display.syncExec( new Runnable() );-block
