Capturing the 'Save' event [message #312589]

Hi All,
I want to capture the 'save action' in my eclipse plugin. Every time a
file is saved, by doing a Ctrl-S or a File-Save, I want to capture that,
compile my code and then generate a xml data file for that class. I have
looked in to IElementStateListener and IResourceChangeListener , But both
deal with the state change and not save event. But I want to do the post
save event only when the users press the Save controls. Any help in this
regard is greatly appreciated.

Thank You and Best Regards,
Rashmi H.R

Hi Rashmi,
Have you considered contributing own builder? Your problem fits the idea
of eclipse builders.
There is more info on builders here:

....if you decide you do not need a full-blown builder:

I handle something similar by listening for resource changes then
visiting the resource delta; the change events are typed; a file
save would fire IResourceChangeEvent.POST_CHANGE (and the resource
delta.getKind() would be IResourceDelta.CHANGED).

so my resource change listener has:

public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent event) {

switch (event.getType()) {

...

case IResourceChangeEvent.POST_CHANGE:
event.getDelta().accept(this);
break;

...
}

and;

public boolean visit(IResourceDelta delta) throws CoreException {

if (resource.getType() == IResource.FILE &&
delta.getKind() == IResourceDelta.CHANGED)

...somebody changed a file...

}

There are the save commands, like org.eclipse.ui.file.save ... you could
add a listener to the ICommandService. In 3.2, any time the command is
executed you'll be notified ... but that only includes the keybinding,
not clicking the menu or tool item.

In 3.3 it will include all 3 modes.

Hi All,
Thank you all for the replies. I was able to get the 'Save Action' event
through the IResourceListener and the IResourceDeltaVisitor.
Thanks Again,
Best Regards,
Rashmi H.R
