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 can also create an XSLT fragment corresponding to any refactoring. This means you can apply the power of XML refactorings to any XML file, even those outside of your IDEA project.

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.
