Description Tami Takamiya

When an Editor part is closed and its isDirty method returns true, Eclipse
displays the confirmation message "'xxxxxx' has been modified.  Save changes?".
 We would like to have a feature to override the message.  

Our editor is not a regular "editor".  It represents a connection with a server.
 It does a kind of edit operations also, but we would like to display a message
like "Do you really want to close the server connection?" in place of the
current default message.

I can't think of a way in which this would work.  If multiple dirty editors 
are open, then what do we do? 
 
If we do do this, I think we'd need to provide some kind of 
EditorPart.getSaveMessage or EditorPart.getSaveDialog.

Tami, does implementing ISaveablePart2 help solve your problem?

Great, thanks for letting us know. If it proves to be insufficient, please feel free to reopen the bug with your reasoning.
