Writing a new refactoring plugin for Eclipse?

by

I found the eclipse.org article the most helpful to get me started. To be honest you’re probably best off debugging some of the Eclipse refactorings to get a real feel for how they work.

A good place to get started debugging the code is to set breakpoints on org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.rewrite.ASTRewrite, particularly the rewriteAST() method, then trigger some refactorings.

Here are a few you might find useful. Are you looking for anything in particular or a general sense of how to process the AST?
