<h1>AnyEdit tools plugin for Eclipse</h1>
<blockquote>
<p> AnyEdit plugin adds several new tools to the context menu of text-
based Eclipse editors, to output consoles, to Eclipse main menu and editor toolbar. AnyEdit contributes also Import/Export working sets wizards.</p>
<p><a href="http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/features.html" class="box">What can AnyEdit do for you? </a></p>
<p> -> <a href="http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/examples.html" class="box"> AnyEdit examples</a> -> <a href="http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/preferences.html" class="box"> AnyEdit preferences </a> -> <a href="http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/examples2.html" class="box"> AnyEdit in action </a></p>
<p>AnyEdit can <strong>show</strong> the withespace (tabs vs spaces) in editors and may use custom project settings for tab<->spaces auto-convert-on-save feature.</p>
<p>AnyEdit can perform <strong>tabs <-> spaces</strong> convert on multiple files or entire directories and supports also file exclusion filter for tabs <-> spaces action.</p>
<p>AnyEdit
allows you <strong>automatically</strong> remove trailing whitespaces
and/or perform tabs<->spaces conversion on a "save" action in all
text- based Eclipse editors. It can automatically create a new line at the end of the file if the last line was not terminated by new line.</p>
<p>AnyEdit adds "<strong>Save All</strong>", "<strong>Open File</strong>" and "<strong>Show whitespace in editor</strong>" buttons to the global Eclipse toolbar and can remove "Print" button from it (because it is completely useless on Linux). </p>
<p>AnyEdit adds "<strong>Open File</strong>", "<strong>Open Type</strong>" and "<strong>Save to file...</strong>" actions to supported output consoles and "Save to file..." toolbar button to the Console view. </p>
<p> AnyEdit adds four new context menu actions to "<strong>Compare With</strong>" and "<strong>Replace With</strong>" menus in both editors and files. </p>

<p class="titel">Why AnyEdit </p>
<blockquote>
<p>"<strong>Open file</strong>" acton was inspired by refactoring
of one big J2EE project that heavily used "included" JSP
files. Some times it was necessary to traverse 5 nested includes to
find a field declaration, thus 5 times open package explorer and search
for the next file, brrr. With "<span class="code">Open file
under cursor</span>" this is a single click action. This works
from Eclipse debug/Ant console too - moreover, if line information
is included, then the right source line will be selected in editor! </p>
<p>"<strong>Open type</strong>" acton was inspired by
working with web.xml/weblogic.xml/*.tld/*.jsp files.
You can now simply change from XML to the Java editor if you want
to see the declaring Java class, without typing the Java class name
in the "Open
type" dialog. This works from the Eclipse Ant/debug console too!</p>
<p>"<strong>Convert Spaces/Tabs</strong>" action set was inspired
by Rahul Kuchhal's whitespace plugin and good old UltraEdit. The main difference is that my
plugin doesn't change line ends while performing "spaces" operations.
E.g. if you edit a Unix text file on Windows PC, Rahul's plugin automatically
convert all line ends into DOS format (from "\n" to "\r\n")
and vice versa. The same is for Mac/Unix, Mac/DOS text files too. This
is angry for version control systems, diff tools etc. The trailing whitespace and/or tabs<->spaces
conversion could be performed automatically on "save" action
in nearly all text editors, even in editors which are not directly
supported by AnyEdit context menu actions.</p>
<p>And the rest is now just history :o)</p>
<p>This program is free, see <a href="copyright.html">copyright</a>. </p>

<p class="titel">Editor / Console integration</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For almost of Eclipse text editors this is done automatically. It works with
default Eclipse Java and Text editors, with <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/index.html">Web
Tools</a> from IBM, <a href="http://www.myeclipseide.com">MyEclipse</a>,
SolarEclipse and Loboz JSP editors, JavaScript editor form Harish Kataria, <a href="http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=266">EclipseColorer</a>, <a href="http://www.eclipse-plugins.info/eclipse/plugin_details.jsp?id=178">ColorEditor</a>, <a href="http://www.phpeclipse.de/">PHPEClipse</a>, <a href="http://cfeclipse.org/index.html">CFEclipse</a>, CDT editors, <a href="http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/">EPIC</a> (Perl), Zend <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/php/">PHP</a>, <a href="http://pydev.sourceforge.net/">PyDev (Python development environment)</a>, <a href="http://www.trex.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/trac">TRex TTCN3</a>, <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/">Adobe Flex</a>, <a href="http://www.aptana.com/products/">Aptana Studio</a> and I think with almost anyone text editor too. </p>
<p>Console integration for "Save to file:" Ant, Java run / debug / stack trace, External tools, CVS, CDT make etc.</p>
<p>Please do not hesitate to contact me if
your editor/view/console is not supported. </p>

FAQ</a>!</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="titel">Usage</p>
<blockquote>
<p>For "<span class="code">Convert Tabs<->Spaces</span>" actions on a single file
you can right-click anywhere in current editor and then select preferred
action to run. Whole editor buffer will be changed, trailing whitespace
will be removed automatically.</p>
<p>For "<span class="code">Convert Tabs<->Spaces</span>" on a number of files, just select these files or directories in Navigator view and use "File->Convert Tabs<->Spaces" window menu. All selected text files and all text files in selected directory hierarchy would be checked out and "Tabs<->Spaces" would be executed on each file. This operation could not be undone without version control system, so be careful by using it. You may exclude files per project/global settings from this operation, using AnyEdit preferences. </p>
<p>For "<span class="code">Convert Chars/Html/Case</span>" actions
you must select some text, then right-click on current selection and then
select preferred action to run. Only the selected text will be changed.</p>
<p>For "<span class="code">Open</span>" actions place cursor into file/java type string
and select preferred action to run. You can also select a part of file/type
and then click on "<span class="code">Open</span>" action. In both cases AnyEdit will try
to determine right file/type, and if it is found, will open file/type in
associated Eclipse editor.</p>
<p>"<span class="code">Convert Tabs<->Spaces</span>" actions uses
tab width from AnyEdit Preference page to replace tabs with spaces/vice
versa (except Java editor, which formatter preferences could be used instead). </p>
<p><span class="red">Note</span>: As default, trailing whitespace
will be removed automatically on save and while "<span class="code">Convert
spaces/tabs</span>" actons, but you can turn this behavoir
off in AnyEdit preferences.</p>
<p>"<span class="code">Open File</span>" action
uses special characters from AnyEdit Preference page to guess file
name/path under cursor. It uses the simply string search for a continuous
character sequence with allowed/required in path characters. Found character
sequence can be the full file path or only one part of them, therefore
plugin will search for this character sequence first relative to current
document and if nothing found, in entire project/workspace and then on
local file system.</p>
<p>Import/Export working sets wizards allows you to store working set definitions to the file and apply them to the another workspace by importing them. This is especially useful when working on big workspaces containing same set of projects (each workspace represents just different product version or branch). Please first import projects into the workspace, and then working sets, otherwise working sets would be imported but empty. </p>
<p><span class="red">Note:</span> only working set <strong>descriptions</strong> would be imported/exported, and <strong>not</strong> the resources included in the working sets. </p>
<p>Please also read <a href="http://andrei.gmxhome.de/anyedit/faq.html">the

<p class="titel">History</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="red">New in version 2.2.0 (Eclipse 3.3-3.5 only) [26.04.2009]</p>
<p><strong>This is a major version change. Please do not hesitate to <a href="http://code.google.com/p/anyedittools/issues/list">report any issues you found</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Main driver is the technical change of the way how AnyEdit contributes to the Eclipse context menu. AnyEdit behavior is changed from <strong>dedicated</strong> contribution to some well known editors/consoles to the <strong>global</strong> contribution to all text editors/consoles (with some filtering).</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Most of existing text editors / consoles are now supported by default (I guess 99%).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>I can't test ALL previously supported editors, so some of them can be not supported anymore. My guess is that this can happen only for some very poor coded plugins, so just don't care in this case ;-)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Added preference to hide "Open Type" menu entry (if you do not use JDT, why you should be bothered by this menu entry?)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Bugfix: NoClassDefFoundError on "Open Type" action with Eclipse 3.5 </p>
</li>
