Just had a look at MapEditor and the dispose() method. I guess it looks
like the answer for my question:
// Save a project
Project p = getMap().getProjectInternal();
if (p != null) {
if (p.eResource() != null && p.eResource().isModified()) {
p.eResource().save(ProjectPlugin.getPlugin().saveOptions);
}
// and save map
final Resource resource = getMap().eResource();
resource.save(ProjectPlugin.getPlugin().saveOptions);
// need to kick the Project so viewers will update
p.eNotify(new ENotificationImpl((InternalEObject) p,
Notification.SET,
ProjectPackage.PROJECT__ELEMENTS_INTERNAL,
null, null));
} else {
// just save the map resources
final Resource resource = getMap().eResource();
if (resource != null)
resource.save(ProjectPlugin.getPlugin().saveOptions);
}
I guess it would be great to have a PreferencePage checkbox to allow
"autosave" for Project/Map configurations. Is there a hidden configuration
area I haven't seen so far? What do you think about this use case?
