[news.eclipse.platform] Re: storageeditorinput and SAVE ???

["Kar" <carmeloscala@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

what about a file ... I mean I could export the memory information on a file 
and create a filestoreeditorinput
would it be of any help ...
guess not I cannot see any link to save operation ... but I could probably 
set some resource change listener ... but again this probably will work if 
the file is inside eclipse and not only in the filesystem ...
