[platform-ui-dev] Taking control of the editor in Eclipse

["Syed Rizvi" <sma_r@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
For my thesis I am trying to use a java GUI to communicate to the eclipse 
editor,this window(GUI) can be attached to the eclipse platform. The window 
has the ability to take control of the editor.By control I mean that the 
function of this window can allow or disaallow any type of typing or editing 
in the editor.
As this will be a distributed system,so the control of the window will be in 
some one elses hands.
Frist of all to start this project I need to have a listener attached to the 
editor,that will take care of the typing part. Now as there is so much code 
involved in the platform that take care of the things and my lack of 
experience is creating some problem for me in locating that particular 
plug-in or a set of them, that take cares of this part.
Secondly I know that eclipse editors work on IDocument and 
IDocumentProvider,but both these classes simply call other functions and 
utilize.My understanding of attaching a listener is that you simply 
implement a listener to a class,now in the case of eclipse there are so many 
classes as  well as plug-ins that are involved in it.
So I need a favour and that is, if I can get to know which classes are 
directly or indirectly involved for providing basic functionality to the 
editor so that I can extend my work from there.

I will appreciate your helping me.

Thanks

Adnan
