I have a plugin that implements a custom nature and builder. This plugin has to react on resource changes (for resources in projects with this custom nature). So I create a custom IResourceChangeListener that is registered when my plugin is started.

This works fine when projects are created. But if Eclipse is restarted, I can miss change events because the plugin is not loaded (until a build is triggered).

What is the best way to make sure my plugin is loaded when Eclipse has a project with my custom nature? I'd prefer not to force my plugin to always be loaded, only when there is an open project with my nature.

Thanks,
Hendrik.

Normally builders are sufficient to maintain state without also needing
a special resource change listener. What is it you need to do before a
build is triggered?

Hi Ed,

I need to detect that files are added. I thought IResourceChangeListener was the was the best way to handle this.
But maybe I can do this in the builder too.

Thanks for the suggestion,
Hendrik.

Thanks Ed,

an incremental builder is indeed the easier solution.

Hendrik,

Yes that's exactly what I expected. :-)
