RE: Refactoring wishlist

Danny,

Well I was asking for what you already know you have because I don’t work with those tools at the moment - to avoid giving redundant ideas.

But here is a missing one which irritates me with my current set up: something like "Extract constant to variable".
I often start by TDDing something like this:
   MyInstance.MyFunction( "xyz");
   Assert.AreEqual( "xyz", MyInstance.OtherThing());

And want to end up with:
   String input = "xyz";
   MyInstance.MyFunction( input);
   Assert.AreEqual( input, MyInstance.OtherThing());

It should work across all the same values of the string, and for other types such as ints etc.

Of course, you may already have this in Eclipse+Java.

No, that one is not on my list.

I want to focus the discussion a bit. We will be implementing refactorings
for Java under Eclipse. First, because I am a contributor to the JDT
refactoring engine and I know it well. Second, because my TAs are familiar
with JDT refactorings.

Do you have refactorings for Java that you wish to get from Santa by mid
December?
