I'm creating a custom image decorator which will decorate project/file explore according to the several logic. For a example lets take Findbugs plugin it will scan the project and decorate project/files image which are having errors, even Eclipse IDE restarts it will maintain the FindBug image status of the project/file. Like that how can I maintain the persit state of the image decorator even Eclipse IDE restarted?
Is there any good tutorials for that? I found following link for decorators https://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Decorators/decorators.html
Cheers!
There is no standard mechanism for persisting data for decorators.
Things like FindBugs are most likely using Markers defined using the org.eclipse.core.resources.markers extension point and created using the IResource.createMarker API. Markers are persisted.
Views such as Project Explorer have a standard decorator which shows decorations for markers which extend the org.eclipse.core.resources.problemmarker marker.
