Interface EditorListener

All Superinterfaces:: java.util.EventListener

public interface EditorListener
extends java.util.EventListener

The EditorListener interface should be implemented by clients that are interested in receiving notifications about Editor instances being opened, activated, deactivated, or closed in the IDE.

This allows clients to attach to or detach from the given Editor for the purpose of providing extra functionality. For example, the debugger may use this for determining when a Code Editor is opened so that it can display the breakpoint icon locations properly.

Clients should register listeners with the EditorManager singleton instance. When an editor is opened, the opened() method will be called. When an editor is about to be closed, the closed() method will be called.
