    • handleMessage

      void handleMessage(EBMessage message)
      Handles a message sent on the EditBus. This method must specify the type of responses the plugin will have for various subclasses of the EBMessage class. Typically this is done with one or more if blocks that test whether the message is an instance of a derived message class in which the component has an interest. For example: 
       if(msg instanceof BufferUpdate) {
     // a buffer's state has changed!
 }
 else if(msg instanceof ViewUpdate) {
     // a view's state has changed!
 }
 // ... and so on
      Parameters:
      message - The message
