Refactor-X:
The first XML refactoring solution for IntelliJ IDEA

A Recommended Companion Product for IntelliJ IDEA

Refactor-X extends IntelliJ IDEA's already solid XML editing capabilities in a new direction by bringing the power of automated refactorings to XML. With Refactor-X, evolving XML documents is now as easy as evolving Java code. Weaknesses in XML document definitions can be repaired in bulk with Refactor-X. Design decisions about XML structure become cheap and easy to change or undo. With Refactor-X and IntelliJ IDEA, you can truly develop XML with pleasure.

Key Features

All of the refactorings in Refactor-X work in HTML, XHTML, JSP, and JSPX files, as well as simple XML files. This makes Refactor-X a powerful tool for maintaining consistent and high quality web pages and on-line applications.

Refactorings can automatically modify a single file, or all the XML files in a project, directory, or module. And then if you wish to filter even more, refactorings can be limited to just modify those files with a given XML document type.

You can optionally preview all of the modifications to be performed by a refactoring and choose which of those changes will be applied using the familiar IDEA preview panel. This gives you precise control of every modification made to your XML files.

Refactor-X integrates seamlessly with many popular version control systems, including CVS, Subversion, and Perforce. This allows changes to be easily applied to large multi-developer projects.
