emacsenv -- Emacs-like buffer-handling for Java

After a bit more hacking, I'm pleased enough with my progress on EmacsBuffer.java that I've imported it into Arch. Every function (or nearly so) has been tested semi-thoroughly. An attempt at documentation has been made, including a full list of available functions and a README.

The purpose of this project is to make hacking on files using Java more bearable for Emacs aficionados. The secondary purpose is to contrast Java's use of "StringBuffer" with an example of what a real buffer interface looks like.

A quick list of capabilities includes:

Moving the point
Getting buffer information
Setting buffer information
Getting parts of the buffer
Inserting text
Deleting text
Searching
Reading and writing buffers
