Thanks

AFAIK, there isn't a listener specifically for that file. WWhat you need
is an IResourceChangeListener which will tell you about EVERY resource
change.

Is the definition of "EVERY resource" equal to "resources visible in the
Resource perspective"? If yes then this will probably not work as the
..project file is not visible in the resource perspective.

1) Yes, IResourceChangeListener will get notified of any changes to
resources in the workspace. See this article for help writing your
listener so that it is efficient and effective:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Resource-deltas/reso urce-deltas.html

2) I don't know what View you're looking at, but the Navigator view
(which is the "default" one that Resource perspective opens with) does
indeed show .project files.

Hope this helps,
Eric
