This essay is about a suggested student project in Java programming. This essay gives a rough overview of how it might work. It does not describe an actual complete program. I have no source, object, specifications, file layouts or anything else useful to implementing this project. Everything I have to say to help you with this project is written below. I am not prepared to help you implement it; I have too many other projects of my own.

I do contract work for a living, which could include writing a program such as this. However, I don’t do people’s homework for them. That just robs them of an education.

You have my full permission to implement this project any way you please.

This is a simple project. It requires almost no user interface.

In Java source code, in theory it does not matter if you say public static final or final static public, but if you follow the usual convention, other people will able to read your code more easily. Here is the preferred order:

Your job is to tidy a Java tree of source code into the preferred order. You don’t need to fully parse the source code since these are reserved words. You can tidy comments too.

You could, in theory do this with a great string of Funduc Search and Replace scripts, but you can do it all in one pass with a bit of Java code.

You might use com.mindprod.filter. CommandLine to find trees of Java source code files for you.
