Re: [platform-core-dev] How file system monitoring works
|
This is already done by the Resources bundle. It can be enabled in the
Workbench by Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Workspace -> Refresh
Automatically.
On Windows we use file-system callbacks to report the changes. On other
OSes we use a polling monitor which goes and looks for changes.
Code can be found in the org.eclipse.core.resources and
org.eclipse.core.filesystem bundles (and corresponding file-system specific
fragments).
fyi: IWorkspace.addResourceChangeListener() is used for notifying clients
of changes in the workspace, not in the file-system.
