Dynamically check out a file under source control with a plugin [message #292543]

Hello,

I am doing a plugin to extend the IDE to be able to generate code and I need
to check out the file I am modifying automatically. (this is the default
behavior of any Editor in Eclipse).

I am modifying the file using the IFile.setContents(...) method with an
InputStream. I thought at first that this method would automatically check
out the file but this is not the case.

I had a look on the org.eclipse.team.core package but didn't find any
methods to be able to check out a file having an IFile as input.
The only thing I found is that: RepositoryProvider.isShared(IProject) so I
can be able to know if a project is under source control.

Does anyone know how to manipulate an IFile under source control ?

Thanks,

John O'Byrne

Take a look at IWorkspace.validateEdit().
