Description
It is useful to determine when resources are copied so that additional actions may be taken (for example copying other related resources).
A patch will be provided that implements COPIED_FROM in a low overhead fashion using a HashMap in Workspace to track the linkage. No other fields are added to other classes.
(this issue is coming from https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=217489)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the IResourceDelta and IResourceChangeListener APIs, then trace the Workspace resource-change processing mentioned in the issue. Determine where copy linkage can be tracked and exposed through COPIED_FROM; done means listeners can identify copied resources without adding fields to other classes.
