Hi! I'm building a plug-in that must monitor user events in Eclipse
(run, save, refactor, etc.). How does one do that? What is the API
call? Is there an example out there that I can model myself after?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Phil

Hi Paul - I will try this this weekend or early next week and will post
back my results.
Thanks!

Paul - that appears to have done the trick. Thanks for the pointer.
Once this plugin's done, I'm going to post the code somewhere - there's
no examples of how to use any of this stuff...

This will come out messy, sorry. Use this with the Eclipse default
plug-in for a View.
ArrayList<String> events = new ArrayList<String> ();
ICommandService commandService = (ICommandService)
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getAdapter(ICommandService.class);
commandService.readRegistry();
Collection categories = commandService.getDefinedCategoryIds();
Object[] catString = categories.toArray();
Collection commandIds = commandService.getDefinedCommandIds();
Object[] comString = commandIds.toArray();
PrintWriter out = null;
try {
out = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter( "c:/foo2.out"
) ) );
out.write("Categories\n");
for (int i = 0; i < catString.length; ++i)
out.write(i + ": " + catString[i].toString() + "\n");
out.write("\n\nCommandIds\n");
for (int i = 0; i < comString.length; ++i)
out.write(i + ": " + comString[i].toString() + "\n");
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ExecutionListener executionListener = new ExecutionListener();
commandService.addExecutionListener(executionListener);
public class ExecutionListener implements IExecutionListener {
public void notHandled(String arg0, NotHandledException arg1) {
events.add("NotHandled: " + arg0);
viewer.refresh();
}
public void postExecuteFailure(String arg0, ExecutionException arg1) {
// do nothing - we watch preExecute and notHandled
}
public void postExecuteSuccess(String arg0, Object arg1) {
// do nothing - we watch preExecute and notHandled
}
public void preExecute(String arg0, ExecutionEvent arg1) {
events.add("preExecute: " + arg0);
viewer.refresh();
}
}

Paul,
Little problem: the IExecutionListener / ICommandService pairing only
reports what KEYBOARD shortcuts are used.
So Ctrl-S will show up.
However, if I click File/Save, or click the Disk button in the toolbar,
nothing is picked up.
What is the class for listening to commands via mouse or menus?

As I said, there isn't one. Hopefully in 3.3.

Hi Philip,
I had a similiar problem some weeks ago and posted my solution in
eclipse.platform. See the posting attached. Maybe the same technique is
useful for you as well. It requires that you'd like to catch events on
(Text)Editors. I didn't explore it in more details.
If you want to fetch Save operations, you may listen to the dirtyStateChange
of an IFileBufferListener which must be registrered as this:
FileBuffers.getTextFileBufferManager().addFileBufferListener (new
MyFileBufferListener());
where MyFileBufferListener implements IFileBufferListener. Dirty Flag state
callup methods are also provided by JDT's ElementStateListeners and
ResourceListeners.
Generally, I don't know any basic mechanism to catch user activities apart
from the basic SWT's Display.handleEvent().
I'm interested in your project. What are you about to implement? I'm
currently implementing a plugin to store meaningful user actions while
programming with Eclipse (for research purposes). Fuyy: The first version of
this (called ECG: http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/ecg) has been compiled by a
student with surname "Schlesinger" :-)
Cheers,
