As we know that it is easy to refactor the code manually but can it be possible to refactor the code automatically.In other words, I want to write the code in such a manner that whenever I will give some code to system then it will do the refactoring automatically. It can be possible in only one way by using of file handling but how I don't know. I had tried a lot about automated refactoring of Long Method but i didn't get any scope from where i will start. S
The Eclipse IDE has an automatic re-factoring capability. You right-click on the variable, method, etc. that you would like to change and select Source -> Refactor in the context menu that opens up. You can then make the changes using an in-place editor, hit Enter, Eclipse will scan all of the files affected and show you a summary of what will be modified.
In InteliJ you can refactor your code automatically. I don't know about other Java editors.
I can add another IDE to the above mentioned IDEs. IBMs RAD (Rational Application Developer)
I am very comfortable in using NetBeans IDE. I refactor my code quite a lot . It typically does all types of refactoring that you may require from pulling-up and pushing-down methods to regular variable or method renaming.
I don't think any of the previous replies have actually addressed the question. The tools that have been referenced allow you to select some small code fragment in an IDE and have it automatically refactored, but I assume that the original question was asking if you can automatically refactor a large code base by just saying 'make it so'. I don't have any experience with this but I assume something like Autorefactor is what was in mind?
