[Htmlparser-developer] Re: [Htmlparser-user] Integration Release 1.3-20030223 is out (API changes)

[Somik R. <so...@ya...>]

I was trying to integrate the changes of the latest
parser with some existing projects at work - and of
course, I had to modify the code to use the new API.

I had some suggestions - as I know many of you will be
facing the same issue. I use Eclipse, and I hope most
of you use a decent IDE that supports refactoring. Get
the parser into your IDE, and let all your other
project code refer to it (thats how it is setup in my
IDE). Then, rename Parser to HTMLParser using your
refactoring tool. Rename it back to Parser, and all
your existing code will automatically get fixed. Do
this for some other classes like HTMLNode/Node, etc..
and within minutes it should be done.

Regards,
Somik
