Question

This must be possible but I just can’t figure it out in Eclipse. I have

/** ClassA.java */
class A {
  ...
}

class B {
  ...
}

and I’d like to select class B and extract to its own file so that I get:

/** ClassA.java */
class A {
  ...
}

and

/** ClassB.java */
class B {
  ...
}

How do I do this in Eclipse?

Answer 1

This is how you do it (works in Eclipse 3.5):

1. Select your code to extract:

   /** ClassB.java */
   class B {
     ...
   }
   

2. Cut

3. Right click on the package in which you want to put it

4. Select paste. (Then Organize imports if needed.)
