Checking for external source file modifications

Hi,

I'm using Boa for creating dialogs while the actual source code editing 
is done in Eclipse. Using both tools together has worked pretty well so 
far, but there's a minor nuisance which would be great if this could be 
fixed eventually. Boa's source code editor does recognize when a source 
file was modified outside Boa, but it only does so at the time when you 
save the file (at which time you might already have done quite a few 
changes to the file). Eclipse does this check whenever the source file 
receives the focus again which means it can never happen that you 
accidentally do modifications to an outdated version of the file.
Would it be possible to implement this feature in Boa as well? So it 
just means the test has to be moved from the Save function to the time 
when the editor window receives the focus. This would prevent anybody 
from doing modifications that have to be discarded later on because the 
file was changed externally.

Thanks,

- Matthias -
