Hello

i got a question about saving changes in the current editor.
Is it in any way possible to add a listener to eclipse that is called when the current editor is switched ?

The reason is, that i want to save a file everytime when the current working tab (editor) is changed.
How can i do that ?

You can use an IPartListener for that.

Perhaps you can handle it with the getAdapter method of the editor. It get's called a number of times when you change tab's (last time with class org.eclipse.ui.part.IShowInSource). Loop through the open editors, and save every editor that's dirty (should always be zero or one in your case).
