## Overview

SabreTooth is a lightweight desktop Android IDE whose central workflow is to create or open a project, edit and save its files, configure project build settings, and invoke Gradle to produce an APK. The UI also supports project-tree file operations, search and replace, syntax highlighting, and global preferences. The README documents Gradle and Eclipse-style projects plus tool discovery; sampled source confirms key UI, project, and configuration relationships, but BuildManager internals were not sampled.

Main entry points: [`src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/MainWindow.java`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/sabretooth-ide/blob/master/src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/MainWindow.java) (Main window), [`src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/EditorTabPanel.java`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/sabretooth-ide/blob/master/src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/EditorTabPanel.java) (Editor tabs), [`src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/ProjectTreePanel.java`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/sabretooth-ide/blob/master/src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/ProjectTreePanel.java) (Project tree), [`src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/CodeEditorPane.java`](https://github.com/abraham-ny/sabretooth-ide/blob/master/src/com/vitalsoft/sabretooth/ui/CodeEditorPane.java) (Code editor)
