The Code Rewriter Pane is a plug-in that provides a user interface onto the Refactoring Browser's source rewriting facility. The rewrite engine uses a powerful but simple language for specifying transformations of code.

Because the engine performs matches and rewrites using compiler syntax trees it is much more accurate and flexible than using a simple source code "find and replace".

The Code Rewriter Pane is a class browser plug-in and is implemented by the CodeRewriterPlugIn class in the image.
