AutoCompile in Eclipse Custom Editor

[SSG_JJV]

I developed a custom editor extending from TextEditor of Eclipse. I want to add auto compile option for this editor similar to Java auto compilation in Eclipse Java Editor. i.e User writes some syntax in the editor and if the editor is idle for a specified milli-second time, compilation should be triggerred and compile the code in Editor. I have the compiler developed for the language in Editor. But i want to integrate it with Editor.

Any idea which methods i should look into?

Thanks,
VVG

I hate it when no one responds, so...

All I can suggest is looking at the Eclipse source to see how the Java editor integrates that functionality.

I have created a TextListener and attached it to Editor Class. Inside TextListener's textChanged() method, i wrote code to invoke auto compile using Threads. Seems to work. Any better choice is welcome
