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.
-> AnyEdit examples -> AnyEdit preferences -> AnyEdit in action
AnyEdit can perform tabs <-> spaces conversion on multiple files or entire directories.
AnyEdit has both workspace and project settings and allows also file exclusion filter for tabs <-> spaces action.
AnyEdit allows you automatically remove trailing whitespace, perform tabs<->spaces conversion and fix line delimiters (Windows: CRLF<->Linux: LF<->Mac: CR) on the "save" action in all text-based Eclipse editors. Also AnyEdit can automatically create a new line at the end of the file if the last line was not terminated by new line.
AnyEdit adds "Save All" and "Open File" buttons to the global Eclipse toolbar and can remove "Print" button from it on Eclipse 3.x (because it is completely useless on Linux).
AnyEdit adds "Open File", "Open Type" and "Save to file..." actions to supported output consoles and "Save to file..." toolbar button to the Console view.
AnyEdit adds four new context menu actions to "Compare With" and "Replace With" menus in both editors and files.
