Method Detail

getDocumentProvider


IDocumentProvider getDocumentProvider()

Returns this text editor's document provider.

Returns:: the document provider or null if none, e.g. after closing the editor

close

void close(boolean save)

Closes this text editor after optionally saving changes.

Parameters:: save - true if unsaved changed should be saved, and false if unsaved changed should be discarded

isEditable

boolean isEditable()

Returns whether the text in this text editor can be changed by the user.

Returns:: true if it can be edited, and false if it is read-only

isEditorInputReadOnly

boolean isEditorInputReadOnly()

Returns whether the editor's input is read-only. The semantics of this method is orthogonal to isEditable as it talks about the editor input, i.e. the domain element, and not about the editor document.

Returns:: true if the editor input is read-only

isEditorInputModifiable

boolean isEditorInputModifiable()

Returns whether the editor's input can be persistently be modified. This is orthogonal to ITextEditorExtension.isEditorInputReadOnly as read-only elements may be modifiable and writable elements may not be modifiable. If the given element is not connected to this document provider, the result is undefined. Document providers are allowed to use a cache to answer this question, i.e. there can be a difference between the "real" state of the element and the return value.

Returns:: true if the editor input is modifiable

validateEditorInputState

boolean validateEditorInputState()

Validates the state of the given editor input. The predominate intent of this method is to take any action probably necessary to ensure that the input can persistently be changed.
