Hi,
I would like to know how editors in eclipse notify the package explorer
of changes. for example, if I write a new method in a class the method
signature appears immediately in the package explorer.
I am developing a similar scenario where, when i save my form editor
content i want my tree view to be updated with the new information.
Is this done by?:
1. The editor being a registered ISelectionProvider and firing a
selection event when the save is complete.
2. The editor providing an implementation of getAdapter() that returns
an appropriate class containing required information of the editors input.
3. The tree view registering as a selection listener and upon a
selection event calling getAdapter() on the selection provider.
If this is the pattern used by eclipse for this scenario that is fine.
If not, please can someone explain how it works, or point me in the
right direction.
Thank you very much.
Adrian

Thanks.
I will look into your suggestion. The resources I am changing are
actually not files. We are developing an RCP app that talks to an EJB
layer, the resources being changed are the entity objects we are
updating to the Database via EJB3.
I have had a very quick glance at the IResourceChangeListeners and it
looks like it is more specific to the workspace. However, I need to read
up some more to be sure.
Thanks.
Adrian.
