Answer 1

Type Alt+Shift+F1 right in the middle of your Java editor.
That will display the class of that editor:org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEditor

You will have then ton of example of listener between that editor and various other views, like that org.eclipse.jface.util.PropertyChangeEvent.

In short, Plug-in Spy is your friend for this kind of code exploration.
