Description

As applications have grown in scope, the need for tools working across a collection of files or packages of data has grown with it. Some examples are; refactoring of files and packages in a large project using an integrated development environment (IDE) like NetBeans, verifying that a change in one file does not negatively impact other program pieces using frameworks or allowing users to improve modularity of multiple files.

This project is an effort in this direction, by allowing simultaneous search and editing of a collection of files, which could be any of: (1) data, (2) program code, (3) memos/lectures, etc. A typical editor can process just one file at a time. The goal is to create such a multi-file editor, which is open source, free and easily deployed using Java technologies.
