How to check if save button is clicked in Eclipse Plugin development?

Probably a duplicate of this question, but I am specifically looking for a way to check that the save button in Eclipse was clicked, not that the editor is being saved.

You can use an IExecutionListener to listen to the File Save command. Something like:

ICommandService commandSvc = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getAdapter(ICommandService.class);
Command saveCommand = commandSvc.getCommand(IWorkbenchCommandConstants.FILE_SAVE);
saveCommand.addExecutionListener(new IExecutionListener()
  {
    @Override
    public void preExecute(final String commandId, final ExecutionEvent event)
    {
    }

    @Override
    public void postExecuteSuccess(final String commandId, final Object returnValue)
    {
    }

    @Override
    public void postExecuteFailure(final String commandId, final ExecutionException exception)
    {
    }

    @Override
    public void notHandled(final String commandId, final NotHandledException exception)
    {
    }
  });

IWorkbenchCommandConstants.FILE_SAVE is the standard constant containing the file save command id.

The ExecutionEvent parameter has a getTrigger method which returns to object that caused the command to run. It looks like this will be a MenuItem if the 'File > Save' menu caused the command to run.
