How to read the contents of the eclipse editor while editing/typing in it?
0
I am developing an Eclipse plugin which is required to read the contents of the editor every minute. So I want a button to start this process and one to stop it. Since I am new to plugin development I tried to work my way around a template given in eclipse. But the runtime application crashes.

What does 'crashes' actually mean? But note that you must never callThread.sleep(10000)in the user interface thread - this will make the entire UI lock up. Use something likeDisplay.timerExec

Thanks @greg-449, I am able to read from the editor without using the loop. I want to automatically extract the file every 10 seconds. I can type in the editor only once, and after that when I press the plugin button the entire application seems to get locked up. Can you please tell me how to use Display.timerExec?

What does 'crashes' actually mean? But note that you must never callThread.sleep(10000)in the user interface thread - this will make the entire UI lock up. Use something likeDisplay.timerExec
