Scalable, Example-Based Refactorings with Refaster
Workshop on Refactoring Tools (2013)
Preview abstract
We discuss Refaster, a tool that uses normal, compilable before-and-after examples of Java code to specify a Java refactoring. Refaster has been used successfully by the Java Core Libraries Team at Google to perform a wide variety of refactorings across Google's massive Java codebase. Our main contribution is that a large class of useful refactorings can be expressed in pure Java, without a specialized DSL, while keeping the tool easily accessible to average Java developers.
