This directory is for EditorConfig Core Java Binding.

EditorConfig makes it easy to maintain the correct coding style when switching between different text editors and between different projects. The EditorConfig project maintains a file format and plugins for various text editors which allow this file format to be read and used by those editors. For information on the file format and supported text editors, see the EditorConfig website.

Add the editorconfig-core dependency to your pom.xml file:

  ...
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.editorconfig</groupId>
      <artifactId>editorconfig-core</artifactId>
      <version><!-- lookup the newest version on http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.editorconfig/editorconfig-core --></version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

A basic example:

EditorConfig ec = new EditorConfig();
List<EditorConfig.OutPair> l = null;
try {
    l = ec.getProperties("/home/user/src/editorconfig-core-py/a.py");
} catch(EditorConfigException e) {
    System.out.println(e);
    System.exit(1);
}

for(int i = 0; i < l.size(); ++i) {
    System.out.println(l.get(i).getKey() + "=" + l.get(i).getVal());
}

There is an online documentation for API details.

Prerequisistes: Java 6, Maven, Git, cmake 2.6+ (optional for tests)
