Open source Extract Class refactoring tool

As part of my thesis work, I've been working on a tool to help programmers refactor large classes.  ExtC (http://code.google.com/p/ext-c/) is an Eclipse plug-in that is useful for locating large, noncohesive classes and for recommending how to split them into smaller, more cohesive classes. Its GUI enables querying a metrics database, displaying the dependency graphs of classes, and clustering a class's members. These clusters can form the basis of the proposed classes. 

While it's not production-level code, it provides some useful capabilities.  There is some documentation at http://code.google.com/p/ext-c/w/list.  If you're interested in using it or working on it, let me know.  It's a work in progress.

Cheers,
Keith
