Merge classes refactoring tool?

Is anybody aware of a tool or plug-in that can be used to merge Java classes?

Re: Merge classes refactoring tool?

What do you mean by "merge classes?" If you mean what I think you mean then
I can think of several ways to do it. The simplest way would be to just move
all the members from one class to the other and then delete the empty class.
All of the major Java IDEs can do this.

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

Sounds like a great project Keith, thanks for letting us know about it.

Re: Open source Extract Class refactoring tool


I printed out the paper to read later.  Since this is for Eclipse,
should I assume that it only works for Java?

Re: Open source Extract Class refactoring tool

OK, I read the paper linked from the google code web site.  I like
this approach to visualizing code metadata.

It got me thinking about refactoring procedural code into objects.  I
have an open source project that is C code with lots of global data.
I wonder what this clustering visualization would look like on that
sort of code base.  Would it give me a good idea of how to break up
this monolithic pile of global data and functions into objects and
methods?

Tools for C/C++

  Hi folks,

I have a client who is doing C/C++ development in Linux, and is in 
desperate need of automated refactoring tools.  Precisely none of the 
developers are using Eclipse but rather flavours of Emacs or VIM.

I've been able to find a few open source plugins for VIM, and one 
commercial tool for Emacs (XRefactory), but not much else.

I would appreciate any suggestions for tools, and any stories about your 
hands-on use with them.

Thanks!

Re: Tools for C/C++

I think Eclipse for Linux/C++ must have refactoring tools, no?

Re: Tools for C/C++

  Hi Mike,

Yes, it does.  I'm using it right now to set up for a Code Smells & 
Refactoring demo later today.

My issue is that not a single developer at this client uses Eclipse.  
Have you ever tried to tell 200+ developers to change their code editor? :)

Thanks!

Dave...
