* Take this code
package javaapplication17;

public class JavaApplication17 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new JavaApplication17().doit();
    }

    private String doit() {
        [if ("1".equals("2")) {
            return "";
        }
        return "bla";]
    }

    private String doit2() {
        if ("1".equals("2")) {
            return "";
        }
        return "bla";
    }

    private String doit3() {
        if ("1".equals("2")) {
            return "";
        }
        return "bla";
    }

}
* extract a method from the selected code (marked via []) 
* choose to refactor also other occurrences

ACTUAL: generated code cannot be compiled. The return value is not returned. See screenshot. For example

    private String doit2() {
        extractedMethod();
    }

EXPECTED: return values are supported too. No compile errors.
