Does Jython support python extension (python module implemented in DLL) ? If
it is the case, the we could move from using JNI for binding to using
Boost.Python + Jython.

What would be needed then is subclassing a TextDocument class exported to
python.

Modification are done using the TextDocument interface, which at the current
you provide when asking for a refactoring (all works on the active
document).

Working on multiple files introduce other issues, such as:

undo/redo: does the IDE support group command (all text modification made on
multiple documents can be automatically undo) ?

project interface: interfacing with the IDE to retreive the files that
compose the project, and obtaining a TextDocument interface for those file.
