Re: [jdt-core-dev] Papers on the 'Change Method Signature' refactoring

[Markus Keller <markus_keller@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Most refactorings in Eclipse (including
change method signature) are not based on specific papers.
The authors have just closely read the
Java Langauge Specification,
skimmed over the well-known literature
on refactoring, written JUnit tests,
and finally implemented the stuff.

So, everthing there is to look at is
the source :-).

Happy reading,
Markus

P.S. http://pag.csail.mit.edu/~akiezun/research.html
has a few papers on this.

Subject	[jdt-core-dev] Papers on the 'Change Method Signature' refactoring

Hello,

As this is not a _user_ question per se, I thought it good to write it
on this mailing list. :)

I'm interested in the theory of refactorings in general, and of the 'Change
Method Signature' refactoring in particular. The only thing I saw was a
one-page summary by Fuhrer et al. Is the Eclipse implementation based on
published research? If so, which paper(s) describe the algorithms used?

With kind regards,

MA
