If there is an issue, I think it is with Eclipse. The way that this
works, is that we implement an Eclipse interface named
IFileModificationValidator which has two methods to implement
validateEdit() and validateSave(). Eclipse calls the validateEdit()
method when you attempt to modify a read only file. The method take an
IStatus object as a return value. When our implementation is called we
bring up the lock dialog. If you successfully lock the file we return
Status.OK_STATUS, if you click Cancel or the lock fails, then we return
Status.CANCEL_STATUS
What I see when I run this in debug, is that our method is only called the
first time. So once you hit Cancel, Eclipse must make the assumption you
do not want to edit the file and never calls the method again. Perhaps
this is for convenience so you do not keep getting the dialog popped up?
Anyway, I do not think there is anything that can be done in Subclipse to
change the behavior.
