Preventing modify -> rename-the-file -> save exception [message #546469]

It looks like the Java and JS editors have a way to block a user from renaming a file resource when they're open in that editor and have unsaved changes.

I've started to delve into "refactoringContributions" and am sincerely hoping there's an easier way to do it.

So how can I hook into the "file so-n-so has unsaved changes" system?

They also take renaming a parent directory or their project in stride. How the heck do they do that?

I've fallen back to myFileEditorInput.getFile().exists()... which will allow me to give the user some options.

At some point in the future however, it'd be nice to Do Things Right. My question remains, though it's of purely academic interest at this point.
