Assuming everyone is well-behaved, you can try using FileBuffers.getTextFileBufferManager().getFileBuffer(...) and then check the obtained buffer(s) with IFileBuffer.isDirty().

just loosely, you could create a file object to use to save something like this but that is dependent exactly how you derive the java.io.File object itself in the Eclipse framework. so just figuratively coded...

class MySaveFile extends java.io.File implements org.eclipse.jdt.core.IOpenable,org.eclipse.core.resources.IFile{

MySaveFile(String savefilename){
super(savefilename);
}//end constructor


} //end class

IResource that is the parent of IFile and IFolder and has the method exist() which you can use to check whether the resource exist or not.
