How to prevent an editor from closing? [message #328217]

Hi All,
My project requires to show a confirm dialog after the user clicking on
the 'x' button (or select File -> Close, or File -> Close All,, or
whatever) to close the editor, prompts for "Continue" or "Cancel" the
closing operation, and if the user selects cancel, I would stop eclipse
from closing this editor.
I have tracked to org.eclipse.ui.internal.SaveablesList where the
standard eclipse closing operation will show a prompt for saving dialog,
but it's impossible to add anything here. And unfortunately I didn't find
any other information on this issue after digging into those docs I can
get. Could you please help me out? Thanks a lot!
