<gastaldi> koentsje, is it possible to undo the operations done by a Forge addon using the Eclipse Undo feature (Edit -> Undo) ?
<gastaldi> can we somehow make the current plugin aware of this?
<koentsje> hm, i think that will be a very tough one
<gastaldi> I am reading http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2FwrkAdv_undo.htm to understand how undoable operations work in Eclipse
<gastaldi> It would be nice if we could somehow store a Delta of the modifications an addon does
<gastaldi> so it's possible to undo/redo operations
<koentsje> i would need to revisit that mechanism, it's probably five years ago since i used it
<gastaldi> can we somehow create savepoints in Eclipse ?
<gastaldi> at least you used it, this is totally new for me
<koentsje> yes it should be possible
<gastaldi> so I was thinking that maybe we could create a snapshot of the current project state before executing an operation, execute the addon, create another snapshot and then compare both to have a delta
<gastaldi> this in turn could be undo/redoable
<gastaldi> this could aid us in implementing the Accept Merges feature too
<gastaldi> duh
<gastaldi> Accept Changes
<gastaldi> however that is a different subject
<koentsje> the resource delta stuff exists already in eclipse
<gastaldi> this is interesting, so it should be possible as you said
<gastaldi> this would motivate people to use Forge inside Eclipse
<koentsje> hm, i thought we went through all the ide pain because people want to use it in their ide?
<gastaldi> yeah, that's the spirit
