Oracle JDeveloper 11g has the following refactoring options: Introduce Parameter... Introduce Field... Introduce Variable... Introduce Constant... NetBeans has the following, three of the four are the same as JDevelopers: Introduce Method... Introduce Field... Introduce Variable... Introduce Constant... First I have a question, what does 'Introduce Variable...' do in JDeveloper and should NetBeans have this refactoring option? Second I have an observation: I have searched through all of the documentation and Help to try to figure out how to use the following features: Introduce Field... Introduce Variable... Introduce Constant... I still can't figure it out as the documentation is mostly absent or vague (in my opinion). Can the documentation be improved and possibly a screencast created to explain the usage of these features? Thanks, Robert
Yes, agree that we need to provide a better coverage for refactoring topics, which is planned for the next 6.9 release. Changing the issue type to Enhancement, as this is a request to provide new content. Assigning and setting the target milestone as 6.9
Reassigning to Ken.
setting milestone to next.

Since javahelp features quite an elaborate Introducing a Variable, Constant, Field, or Method topic regarding the subject, it makes sense to create a tutorial and/or screencast on how introduce parameter,field,method, variable, constant refactoring is used.
screencast is available at http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/java/introduce-refactoring-screencast.html
