I am currently working on eclipse plugin development. I am working with the builders and markers and I have implemented a rename participant where it checks for a valid file name (does not contain any special characters, lets assume a valid file name to be a alpha numeric regular expression). Its working fine when the user is working within the workbench. Say, when a user directly goes into the file system and changes the file name. I have implemented the markers for this case too. It will show problem marker for the respective file in the project stating, “Invalid file entered – {filename}”
Is there any possibility to change the action on clicking the respective problem marker in the problems view. Say, if such a rename problem marker comes I want to open the rename resource dialog instead of opening the respective file on clicking the problem in the view. Any help upon that.
Although this does not change the double-click behaviour of the marker, you could provide a Quick Fix for the user as described in the Eclipse marker resolution help, and display the rename resource dialog from within the IMarkerResolutionGenerator you provide.
