Hi Min,
Try this short
IBM Tutorial and you will be crystal clear on what is refactoring. You need not to have WSAD. Eclipse will be the same as well. Refactoring is such an important concept that major
IDE supports it like Eclipse, NetBean 4, etc.
I use Eclipse for
SCJD and one of the productivity gains I got is refactoring. If you use a plain editor like those suggested in this forum, you lost all these benefits.
Give an example, towards the end of the SCJD project, I decide to move a class to a different package. With the help of refactoring support in Eclipse, it is very easy and amount to changing a name and a few mouse clicks. If you use a simple editor, you change all the imports of the
java source files that uses that class. Imagine the productivity gain.
Best Regards
