Dotan,

What you suggest is exactly what I did.  But because I would be taking
this same action with every export, it's a good candidate for
automation.  Whether or not I'm the only user taking this action is up
for debate.

I think I could implement this myself, which is why I inquired about an
IDE.  Eclipse made it simple for me to make changes/contributions to
JSPWiki and JMoney without the overhead of learning the whole codebase.
I think some kind of IDE would lower the bar to code level participation
by casual contributors/bug fixers.  Has anyone pursued this angle?

Thanks,

Todd
