["Sudarshan" <sudarshan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Well I figured it out :-) You need to implement IPartListener and register 
the listener using the addPartListener() method in IWorkbenchPage. You can 
trap the window closing event using the partClosed() method in the listener 
and by checking to see if the call was triggered by the compare editor.
