Re: [platform-ui-dev] close editor warning

[Nick_Edgar@xxxxxxxxxx]

I find it surprising that you allow a modified script to be run before it 
is saved.  Usually editors follow and open/edit/save lifecycle, with 
changes having no effect until saved (except for views that show the 
contents of the editor, like the Outline).  For example, when running Java 
programs, changes to a compilation unit are not sent to the VM until you 
save (if the VM supports hot code replace).

Hi, Nick, thanks for the reply.

We have a very small scripting language, user can debug it. During 
debugging, we want to enable user to directly modify the script code 
inside the editor, and the debugger will always run the newest code. So 
our debugger use the memory of the editor not the saved files. To easy 
implementation, we want to force user to keep the editor open during the 
debug session -- or when user try to close the editor, give us a chance 
to also stop the debugger.

BTW, we want to utilize the eclipse debug framework, but the framework 
allow the debug view to appear in any workbenchwindow, in our case, 
means user can open multiple editor of the same script in multiple 
workbenchwindow, thus multiple memory copy. How can I solve this? Or 
normally is there any other way dealing with this kind of problem?

Thanks
