Method Detail

isDirty

boolean isDirty(IModelDescriptor modelDescriptor)

Determines if the given model is dirty. A model is considered dirty if it has resources whose content has been modified but not been saved yet.

Parameters:

modelDescriptor - The model to be investigated.

Returns:

true if specified model has dirty resources, or false otherwise.

setSaved(IModelDescriptor)

setSaved

void setSaved(IModelDescriptor modelDescriptor)

Clears dirty state of given model and remembers it as having just been saved. This method needs to be called by all clients which perform a save operation of some model right after the save operation has been completed. Clients can then call #isSaved(EditingDomain, URI) to determine if subsequently raised resource change events are just a consequence of the preceding save operation or if the underlying files' content has been changed otherwise (e.g., via a text editor or some other tool affecting the resource in its serialized form).

Parameters:

modelDescriptor - The model to be handled.
