Re: [eclipse-dev] Want to understand how "language editor" plugins spawn

Eclipse cannot the relationship between your yang files and how they're supposed to be compiler. Such behaviour of "propagating" compilation has to be implemented by your support for Yang. I believe the right approach may be a Project Builder that would listen to changes, recompile files with the change, and compute which other files can be affected and rebuild them if necessary. For a 1st iteration, if it doesn't cause too bad user experience, you can simply rebuild all your files whenever one is changed...

This page gives details about builders, and more specifically about the JDT one (in the yellow area). https://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Builders/builders.html
