| * Represents a source of Saveable objects (units of saveability). Workbench |
| * parts that show more than one unit of saveability, or whose units of |
| * saveability change over time, should implement this interface in order to |
| * provide better integration with workbench facilities like the Save command, |
| * prompts to save on part close or shutdown, etc. |
| * <p> |
| * IMPORTANT: As of 3.2, implementers of <code>ISaveablesSource</code> must |
| * satisfy the following conditions: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>If ISaveablesSource is implemented by an IWorkbenchPart: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>the part must implement <code>ISaveablePart</code></li> |
| * <li>if any of its Saveable objects are dirty, the part must return |
| * <code>true</code> from {@link ISaveablePart#isDirty()}</li> |
| * <li>the part must return <code>true</code> from |
| * {@link ISaveablePart#isSaveOnCloseNeeded()} if it is dirty (the default |
| * behaviour implemented by {@link EditorPart})</li> |
| * <li>the part must not implement {@link ISaveablePart2}</li> |
| * </ul> |
| * </li> |
| * <li>If ISaveablesSource is implemented by a non-part (possible as of 3.2.1 and 3.3): |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>the Workbench's {@link ISaveablesLifecycleListener} (obtained from the |
| * Workbench by calling |
| * <code>workbench.getService(ISaveablesLifecycleListener.class)</code>) must |
| * be notified of any change to the result of {@link #getSaveables()} </li> |
| * <li>getActiveSaveables() should be implemented to return an empty array |
| * </li> |
| * </ul> |
| * </ul> |
| * If any of these conditions are not met, it is undefined whether the Workbench |
| * will prompt to save dirty Saveables when closing parts or the Workbench. |
| * </p> |
| * <p> |
| * These conditions may be relaxed in future releases. |
| * </p> |

| * {@link ISaveablesLifecycleListener#handleLifecycleEvent(SaveablesLifecycleEvent)}. |
| * <p> |
| * Additions of saveables to the list of saveables of this part are |
| * announced using an event of type |
| * {@link SaveablesLifecycleEvent#POST_OPEN}. Removals are announced in a |
| * two-stage process, first using an event of type |

| * {@link SaveablesLifecycleEvent#POST_CLOSE}. Since firing the |
