Interface IFilePropChangeListener<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:
EditorTextTable
public interface IFilePropChangeListener<T>
Interface used by data containers in FilePropCnr's that need to listen to changes in file contents. Typically this is called if a file is updated outside of Eclipse and refreshed or through a versioning system (e.g. SVN or GIT).

When a file is updated, the data container property is refreshed as follows:

  • Call to interface method {link #onFileAboutToChange}.
  • All properties are removed.
  • All properties from the loaded data container property are cloned and added into this data container.
  • Call to interface method {link #onFileChangesCompleted}.
