Is there a way to listen for (re)application of a profile on a model?

I'd like to run some code when a profile is applied or updated.

Hi

EMF allows an org.eclipse.emf.common.notify.Adapter to be added to any
EObject and it will receive notifications of all chnages to the EObject,
so just add an Adapter to the Packages in which you are interested.

The EMF book has much more detail.

Hi, Patrik,

If you're working in Papyrus, have a look at the
org.eclipse.papyrus.uml.tools.listeners.ProfileApplicationListener
class and search references to it for examples of how it's used. This
provides a custom notification, sent by a Package, when profiles are
applied or unapplied. Most significantly, it accounts for "external"
profile applications that actually don't modify the package at all in
real EMF terms when they are created and destroyed.

HTH,

Christian

I should clarify: the Papyrus editor uses this listener internally to
dispatch ProfileApplicationNotifications on Packages. You don't
interact with the ProfileApplicationListener, as such, but just receive
the notifications in the usual way, via Adapter or ResourceSetListener.
