Provides a report of line endings (and line ending anomalies) for a directory tree.
The primary application of this project is when preparing an Eclipse project for publication on GitHub. There are a fair number of issues which can arise when mixed or inconsistent line endings occur in a project, and so this tool permits you to review your line endings usage and fix as necessary.
See here for a good proposal on the best approach regarding Git line endings.
The following instructions assume the use of Eclipse to build the project, but there is no specific dependency on that IDE. You will need a Scala development environment, e.g. Scala IDE.
Proceed as follows:
- Clone locally https://github.com/lancegatlin/smach, import and build it as an Eclipse project
- Clone this project and import it into Eclipse
- Add the Smach project to this project's build path
- Create a Scala run configuration for the
Mainobject and provide as an argument the desired top-level directory to commence scanning - Run the configuration to see the report
On all platforms, Eclipse aims to be line-ending agnostic and preserving, i.e. to read a file with any line ending and to keep that line ending when the file is saved. However it is possible to create files with inconsistent line endings and this may make it difficult for Eclipse to rightly infer the file's line ending. Such inconsistencies are reported as well by this tool.
