Koen Aers commented on SEAMFORGE-172:
-------------------------------------
What would be relatively easy to do is to add an 'Eclipse-specific' refactoring
plugin that is included in the Forge-Eclipse integration. For Forge this would basically
be a noop that delegates to the Eclipse refactoring functionality. Of course this
won't help people that use other IDEs.
Add refactoring capability to code manipulator
----------------------------------------------
Key: SEAMFORGE-172
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFORGE-172
Project: Seam Forge
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Parsers / File Manipulation
Affects Versions: 1.0.0.Alpha3
Reporter: Dan Allen
Although challenging, the ability to refactor within a project would be immensely
powerful for plugin writers. Basic refactoring include renaming types, fields and methods.
Matching updates to resource files (XML, Java properties, etc) would also be useful. We
could see how far that could take us before deciding if more complex refactoring is
necessary.
I would suggest researching whether it's possible to extra the refactoring logic out
of the Eclipse tooling into a reusable library (if it isn't already). Another option
is RefactorIT, which used to be a proprietary plugin for the major Java IDEs but is now
