A Simple Plain-text Editor

Introduction

This project is a reproduction of my Software Engineering Course Design, Semester 2. It provides an editor for users editing any kind of plain-text format files (not only *.txt but also *.csv, *.md, *.rst).

I finished my first project (v1.0) with Swing and Java 8 Language Level, but I think the project is too complex for me to fix and upgrade. So I reproduce this project, recover all codes with JavaFX in Java 14 Language Level.
