How to run a plugin on all files?

How do I run a plugin's buffer operation on all files within my project?

More specifically, I'd like to run the WhiteSpace "remove trailing whitespace" capability on all my .java files (either based on ProjectViewer's file tree or just recursively on file system). I'd like to do the same with LazyImporter's "Quick Import" (to sort my import statements).

Is there a general way to batch execute such operations? Thanks!

Not that I know of, but you should be able to write a macro to do that.

Check out the documentation for ProjectViewer, and then check out those two plugins you mentioned.

Here's a little hint, if you set jEdit up to download the source, it will be very easy to mimic those two plugins' actions because they're defined in their actions.xml files.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm a Java developer, but I'm up to my ears in my own code right now. If I ever get time to develop such a thing, I'll certainly give it back to the jEdit community.

For the time being, does anyone feel inspired to write a plugin that batch runs another plugin's capabilities across all files in a project?
