Updating resource decorators in Package Explorer [message #111418]

I have a plug-in in which I am creating markers for my resources when build
or validation errors occur. The markers show up in the task view, but the
problem decorator is not applied to the resource in the package explorer
unless I do a build-all or stop and restart the package explorer. I am
trying to figure out what API(s) I need to call to refresh the resource
decorators in when I change the markers on my resources. I have seen
references to calling LabelProvider.fireLabelProviderChanged(), but I don't
know what label provider to call it on. Is this the API I need, and if so,
what do I call it on? If not what API should I use to refresh the problem
decorators for my resource in the package explorer when my resource markers
change? Thanks.

Nobody knows. You have addressed the very matters: everybody knows that this method needs to be called but nobody know how. This is the way Eclipse works.

Ok, the secret was disclosed:

Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
	IDecoratorManager idm = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getDecoratorManager();
	idm.update("your decorator ID that you specified in plugin.xml"); 
						       }
						});

At least it works for me.
