Question

I have an Eclipse RCP application with own editor. Class editor extends from org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor and it is added in extension in plugin.xml -> org.eclipse.ui.editors. How can I detect when the user closes document?

Answer 1

For editor close event do something like this:

IWorkbenchPage page = ...;

    //adding a listener
IPartListener2 pl = new IPartListener2() {
        // ... Other methods
        public void partClosed(IWorkbenchPartReference partRef)
        {
            //if(partRef.getId().equals(youreditor.id){ /* do something*/ }
        }

};
page.addPartListener(pl);
