[CommonNavigator] Programmatically / Automatically refresh non-resource content [message #606140]

Hello,

I'm working on a plugin that's aimed at helping Web developpers building RESTFul applications using the JAX-RS spec, within Eclipse ;)

For now, I have a builder that is configured with a facet and that builds an internal JAX-RS "registry", which is stored in the Project's session properties. This "registry" is based on annotations found on classes of the project, so it is not bound to a particular resource.

To display this registry, I added a custom navigatorContent that is associated to the "Project Explorer" viewer.
This works almost fine : when I clean the project, a "full build" is triggered, and the "registry" is initialized and stored in the project. But on the UI side, I cannot programmatically refresh the viewer.

I tried to add a my ITreeContentProvider impl as an IResourceChangeListener for POST_BUILD event as below:
public ContentProvider() {
IWorkspace workspace = ResourcesPlugin.getWorkspace();
workspace.addResourceChangeListener(this, IResourceChangeEvent.POST_BUILD);
}
, so that when the build is done, I can trigger a viewer.refresh() :
public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent event) {

((TreeViewer)viewer).refresh();
}

But this approach fails with a SWTException :

How can I automatically/programmatically refresh the navigator content, since the content is not bound to a particular resource ?

Thank you in advance

Looks like this is being called on a non-UI thread. Try something like the following:

public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent event) {
if (Display.getCurrent() != null) {
if (viewer != null)
viewer.refresh();
} else
Display.getDefault().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (viewer != null)
viewer.refresh();
}});
}
