Activator start() method won't get called. [message #603943]

Hi!

My plugin has the following requirement: If any *.JAVA file has changed on the workspace, the last launched java file with a main() has to be launched again.

I have succesfully created an IResourceChangeListener implementation, but i have two problems.

1. Somehow my Activator class start() method won't get called, so i cannot call ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().addResourceChangeListener in the start method.

2. I cannot figured it out how to call the last launched java class from my IResourceChangeListener.

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

try using the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point to register an early startup.

Implement the IStartup interface and add your ResourceChangeListeners in the earlyStartup method calling:

ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace().addResourceChangeListener(Lis tener);

Best,

Artur
