Key Features of Refactor-J:
Refactor-J fully supports all of the new JDK 1.5 code constructs. Using the Introduce Type Parameter and Remove Type Parameter refactorings, you can easily augment code designed before JDK 1.5 to more modern styles of parameterized types and generic programming.
All of the refactorings in Refactor-J work in JSP and JSPX files, as well as Java classes. This makes Refactor-J a powerful tool for building consistent and high quality web applications.

You can optionally preview all of the modifications to be performed by a refactoring and choose which of those changes will be applied, using the familiar IDEA preview panel. This gives you precise control of every modification made your code.
Refactor-J integrates seamlessly with many popular version control systems, including CVS, Subversion, and Perforce. This allows changes to be easily applied to large multi-developer projects.
