IDocumentSetupParticipant Participates in the setup of a text file buffer document.
IFileBuffer A file buffer represents a file that can be edited by more than one client.
IFileBufferListener Interface for listeners to file buffer changes.
IFileBufferManager A file buffer manager manages file buffers for files while the files are connected to the file buffer manager.
IFileBufferStatusCodes This interface provides the list of status codes that are used by the file buffer plug-in when it throws CoreException.
IPersistableAnnotationModel Tagging interface for IAnnotationModel implementers that offer state persistence.
IStateValidationSupport Implementers of IFileBuffer may also implement IStateValidationSupport in order to allow a IFileBufferManager to batch the stages of state validation when calling IFileBufferManager.validateState(IFileBuffer[], org.eclipse.core.runtime.IProgressMonitor, Object).
ISynchronizationContext A file buffer manager (see IFileBufferManageruses a ISynchronizationContext in order to execute commands encapsulated as Runnable.

Package org.eclipse.core.filebuffers Description

Provides the API for accessing file buffers.

Package Specification

File buffers represent a file that is being edited. Text file buffers are specific for text files. They represent the content of a text file in form of an IDocument and and associated IAnnotationModel. File buffers are managed by a file buffer manager. The org.eclipse.core.filebuffers plug-in provides a default file buffer manager that can be obtained by calling FileBuffers.getTextFileBufferManager(). The file buffer manager supports listeners, IFileBufferListener, that are informed about all relevant state changes of file buffers as well as their creation and disposal.
