Description Dan Winterstein CLA 2006-05-27 05:46:04 EDT 
Hello,
I've just converted some array-based code into list-based code, and its a tedious process. It's also entirely mechanical. So it would be nice to have a refactoring method that can replace an array field or variable with a list one, and vice-versa.

Good idea, we will have to see where this fits in. Maybe also a quick fix?

:)

Converting between list.get(int) and array[int] when the wrong one is used? That would be good too.

The diffenerce if that a quick fix would only make changes locally, in the same file and not update references from outside.
This might be good enough as fields are rarely protected.
The advantage is, that is is more realistic than a new refactoring where we can't grow the list of refactorings for usability reasons
