POEclipse Plug-in Counting Click / Listening To Click
text
Body
copied!<p>I am writing a plugin for MagicDraw an IDE based on eclipse. I want the application to close after 15 minutes of idle time to release the license.</p> <p>What i first did implement a counter that will check the mouse position every 1000 ms. And each time the mouse location remained the same i decreased the counter. And when the counter reached 0 i closed the application. And each time to position changed i reset the counter.</p> <p>The problem here was that if the application is open and the user is just moving his mouse around in a different window he is not categorized as idle.</p> <p>My second approach was to count the number of clicks. But the problem that i am facing is i am not getting how to add a listener to the full IDE window.</p> <p>Here is what i have so far.</p> <pre><code>package myplugin; import java.awt.event.MouseListener; public class CheckAct implements MouseListener{ private int timeleft; private int permtime ; public CheckAct(int initialTime){ this.setPermtime(initialTime); this.setTimeleft(initialTime) ; //Missing Addlistener Code } @Override public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub this.resetTime(); } } </code></pre> <p>where i have the <code>//missing addlistenercode</code> is where i believe i should add the listener to the full eclipse window to be able to use the mouseClicked event.</p> <p>But how do i do that ?</p> <p>Please note i only showed relevant code.</p>
