That's normally how it works.

Keep in mind that these are bit flags, so generally you should test by
using a bitwise or.
Try removing the guard so that you visit all changes for every delta...

Thanks a lot for your reply Ed. I implemented your suggestion to remove the guard (the examples I saw on line were doing equality checks but I should have looked at the javadoc and realized it was a bitmask):
/************* RESOURCE CHNAGE LISTENER TEST *********************/
IResourceChangeListener listener = new IResourceChangeListener() {
public void printDelta(IResourceDelta d, String indent) {
IResource resource = d.getResource();
IJavaElement javaElement = JavaCore.create(resource);
String resourceName = null;
if (javaElement instanceof IJavaProject) {
resourceName = "Java project " + resource.getName();
} else if (javaElement instanceof IPackageFragmentRoot) {
resourceName = "PFR " + resource.getName();
} else if (javaElement instanceof IPackageFragment) {
resourceName = "PF " + resource.getName();
} else if (javaElement instanceof ICompilationUnit) {
resourceName = "CU " + resource.getName();
} else {
resourceName = resource.getName();
}
System.out.println(indent.concat("Delta " + d.getKind() + " for resource " + resourceName));
for (IResourceDelta childDelta : d.getAffectedChildren()) {
printDelta(childDelta, indent.concat("\t"));
}
}
public void resourceChanged(IResourceChangeEvent e) {
System.out.println("Resource change event type = " + e.getType());
//if (e.getType() | IResourceChangeEvent.POST_CHANGE) {
//System.out.println("Post change event");
IResourceDelta delta = e.getDelta();
printDelta(delta, "");
/*} else {
System.out.println("Event type was " + e.getType());
}*/
}
};
Basically, I have a startup plugin that programmatically creates an Eclipse project using information passed in on the command line to eclipse. For testing purposes, I created a file in the project:
IFile myPropertyFile = project.getFile("mysettings");
if (!myPropertyFile.exists()) {
myPropertyFile.create(new ByteArrayInputStream("handle=1abcff23aa".getBytes()), true, getProgressMonitor());
}
In windows explorer I go to the file and edit it using a basic editor. I do not get any notification in the resource change listener when I do this. Am I doing something wrong here?
Note that I just did the same test by editing one of the Java source files that also reside in the project and did not get a notification about that either (just to make sure it didn't have to do with the type of element).
In both cases, if I subsequently go into eclipse and open the file that I previously modified outside of eclipse I get the notification at that time:
Resource change event type = 1
Delta 4 for resource
Delta 4 for resource Java project Test
Delta 4 for resource mysettings

Kevin,
If changes are made directly to the underlying file system (rather than
through Eclipse's IResource APIs) such changes are noticed only when the
workspace resources are refreshed. There are preferences that affect
how/when such refreshes occur (other than manual File->Referesh). I.e.,
Window->Preferences->Workspace->* I.e., "Refresh using native hooks or
polling" and "Refresh on access". If you often will make changes
outside of the IDE's APIs, you'd probably want to enable both these
options...

Just answering my own question on the off chance that someone comes across this thread looking for the information. I was able to force the setting Ed mentioned during startup of my plugin via:
IEclipsePreferences prefs = InstanceScope.INSTANCE.getNode(PLUGIN_ID);
prefs.putBoolean(ResourcesPlugin.PREF_AUTO_REFRESH, true);
try {
prefs.flush();
} catch (BackingStoreException e2) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e2.printStackTrace();
}
The polling is on a slow interval it seems and I have yet to find a preference or any way to change that interval.
