[news.eclipse.platform] Save handler when editing files not in workspace

[ramirezag@xxxxxxxxx (Allan Ramirez)]

Hi,

Here's the code that would open an external file (meaning file that does 
not exist in my workspace) and then edit it using eclipse default editor.


File fileToOpen = new File("external_file.xml");

if (fileToOpen.exists() && fileToOpen.isFile()) {
   IFileStore fileStore = 
EFS.getLocalFileSystem().getStore(fileToOpen.toURI());
   IWorkbenchPage page = 
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();

   try {
       IDE.openEditorOnFileStore( page, fileStore );
   } catch ( PartInitException e ) {
       //Put your exception handler here if you wish to
   }
} else {
   //Do something if the file does not exist
}


I wanted to execute a code when the user saves the document by ctrl+s or 
file->save or by pressing the save icon.

How should I do this?

I tried 

editorPart.getEditorSite().getActionBars().setGlobalActionHandler( 
ActionFactory.SAVE.getId(), myaction );

where myaction is an instance of a class that extends Action class and 
override s the run method.

But then the run method will never be executed once the document is saved.

I also believe the resource change listener can't be of help either 
because it's would only track down workspace resources.

What should I do? Please enlighten me gurus.
