User problem: ----------------------------------- --- User need: ----------------------------------- The user needs to be able to do text replace operations over multiple files within the IDE. Product requirement: ----------------------------------- Extend the Find in Files concept with Replace.
Difficulty: 5 - this is non-trivial, since unless designed with care, it will be easy to make irreversible changes in large numbers of files Hack factor: 2 - may be more or less Issues: - Cases to handle such as: - File is open in editor - Can we avoid creating reams of DataObjects to do this? - What about unknown file types? If we don't do this via DataObjects, this becomes an issue. Maybe I'm worrying too much.
This actually sounds like something that might be better implemented as part of re-factoring. Eclipse allow for text instances of changed method names, etc, to be changed in files with names matching given patterns.
