Detecting external changes to a resource [message #814492]

Hello,

I'm working in an editor using MultiPageEditorPart, but I realize that this is not dectatecta changes made outside of Eclipse, I'm using IResourceChangeListener but this detects only changes in the workspace.

And I'm looking to detect changes in the workspace that occur outside the Eclice.

any ideas?

Check if the file is synchronized and refresh if needed:
if (!file.isSynchronized(IResource.DEPTH_ZERO)) {
file.refreshLocal(IResource.DEPTH_ZERO, new NullProgressMonitor());
}
Object file is an IFile.

In 3.7 and newer, you can choose to refresh on access (see 'Workspace'
preference page). If that's enabled then you should get the delta at
some point.
