Well, refactoring might be THE solution for embedded Java code in those
.jsps (and I regularly use refactoring for Java code).
But I have also to change the no-code parts (read: html) of those .jsps as
well. For instance replacing image paths or simply changing some texts
(think of i18n, like replacing "email address" with "Email Adresse" on
multiple pages). Tasks like this occur here regularly (some due to some
suboptimal technical design desicions for those websites, which I am not
in a position to change) having a multi-file search and replace would ease
those tasks a lot.
Thanks, Lars
