Eclipse has refactoring support for generics (i.e. refactoring raw types to parameterized types and all dependencies)... this is taken from their help: === BEGIN ECLIPSE HELP === Infer Generic Type Arguments Replaces raw type occurrences of generic types by parameterized types after identifying all places where this replacement is possible. Available: Projects, packages, and types Options: 'Assume clone() returns an instance of the receiver type'. Well-behaved classes generally respect this rule, but if you know that your code violates it, uncheck the box. 'Leave unconstrained type arguments raw (rather than inferring <?>)'. If there are no constraints on the elements of e.g. ArrayList a, uncheck this box will cause Eclipse to still provide a wildcard parameter, replacing the reference with ArrayList<?>. === END ECLIPSE HELP === Generic refactoring support would be a great feature for NetBeans. -- Robert
IntelliJ IDEA has excellent Generic Refactoring support. Consider reviewing their features as well.
